Gynaecology

Women attending gynaecological clinics experience particularly high rates of psychological distress and psychiatric morbidity (Byrne, 1984; Worsley et al., 1977; Ballinger, 1977). Such high levels of psychological distress may be understood in terms of the generally higher prevalence rates of distress in women (Briscoe, 1982; Weissman and Klerman, 1979), together with the finding that people seeking medical help have been shown to suffer from a considerable degree of emotional distress (Moffic and Paykel, 1975).
