title: And god created woman? The link between female sexuality and the mother-daughter relationship in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome in adolescents.
abstract: The authors' clinical experience with young girls with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), who are facing the often hastily suggested, and accepted, surgical treatment of vaginal reconstruction brings new light to the question of female sexuality and its specific modes of access: its traumatic aspects, the mother-daughter conflict of ambivalence and the associated risk of depression, as well as the importance of the relational factor in the construction of bodily interiority.
