Psychogenic Urinary Retention in Women

Report of a Case

A. H. CHAPMAN M.D.1

1 Psychiatry, University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, Kansas

A case of psychogenic urinary retention in a woman is presented, and the psychopathology behind the symptom is outlined. The symptom was found to be rooted in severe and extensive emotional trauma in the patient's childhood, and its relationship to the urinary tract was evident. Further exploration and study of this problem from the psychiatric point of view is urged.
