Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop the proposition of a theoretical-conceptual analysis on the relationship between traumatic events during adolescence/childhood and the development of sexual dysfunctions using a patient who was treated in Sexology clinic of Perola Byington Hospital, from June 2016 to March 2017. Therefore, the proposition is that subjects submitted to repeated traumas/abuses might develop dysfunctions in their sexual/affective lives. The patient/object of this study was M, a 23 years old, Caucasian, Pedagogy student, who was referred from another hospital’s gynecology department with a Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder diagnosis. The methodology adopted for this study was the case study method. This case study was developed from the content of the consultations of this patient which was the basis for the construction of the psychoanalytic approach on the possible relationship between abuse reports and female sexual dysfunctions such as the Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder. After almost one year of treatment developed on monthly consultations with a psychoanalytic approach and application of sexual therapy techniques to the reduction or complete suppression of the Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder symptomatology, the patient reported a complete success in having a pleasurable and complete sexual relationship with full penetration with her partner and no longer reporting any type of pain or discomfort.
