I know it has been studied - but no references on hand. You do have to get her trust - so she doesn't think you are saying "get out of my office it is all in your head". You have to convince her that because of the abuse the pelvic anatomy does indeed have pain - and multiple modalities will need to be done to get relief - and one of those is psychotherapy. But then I am probably "preaching to the choir" Joanne At Fri, 20 Feb 2004, Garry E.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
