[Complex treatment of sexual disorders in women with slowly progressive schizophrenia]

The article describes the efficacy of combination, staged and differential therapy of sexual disorders in 90 women with slowly progressive schizophrenia. The treatment was carried out in 3 stages. At the first stage the treatment with psychotropic drugs (supplemented with some elements of rational and behavioural psychotherapy--PT) was aimed at reducing the underlying psychopathological syndrome; at the second stage the maintenance psychopharmacotherapy was combined with the maximal utilization of PT (behavioural, marital, training), whereas the third stage consisted of various types of PT and sex therapy.
