title: [Cathartic effects in autogenic training and its therapeutic benefit].
abstract: During the solar plexus exercises within the AT certain spontaneous sexual excitement or orgasm can take place. These kathartisch effects discovered for the first time by Wallnöfer and Luthe can be used legitimately for the treatment of anorgasmie. The combination of the autogen treatment together with open discussion between patient and doctor and thereby the revealing of the unknown seat of the problem can be of definite importance to the therapeutic success. Should the patient be of a hysterical nature, this treatment should not be used.
