The purpose of this paper is to show that the time limited, symptom focused, behavioristic Sex Therapy, which today is considered almost the only way of treating vaginismus, is based upon a restricted and limited understanding of the psychological meaning of the symptom. Sex Therapy treats vaginismus as a mechanical disorder which disturbs coital function, but my clinical case material shows that the symptom affects female psychosexuality in a much broader sense, including conceptions of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood. Sex Therapy considers vaginismus the easiest
of the sexual dysfunctions to treat, but my case material shows that vaginismus can be the result of quite severe psychosexual conflicts which, because of conscious and unconscious resistance, can be difficult to treat and require long term psychotherapeutical effort.

Ophavsret er tidsskriftets og forfatternes. Det er gældende praksis, at artikler publiceret i Psyke & Logos, som efterfølgende oversættes til andet sprog, af forfatteren frit kan publiceres i internationale tidsskrifter, dog således at det ved reference fremgår, at den oversatte artikel har et forlæg i en dansksproget version i Psyke & Logos. Artikler kan frit deles og linkes til på forsknings- og undervisningsnetværk (så som Blackboard). Link foretrækkes, fordi det giver oplysning om brug af tidsskriftets artikler.
