“…12 Successful treatment includes bladder training, 3,4 biofeedback; 5 psychotherapy 6 and administration of a diazepam and bethanochole. 7,8 It may be that the urinary retention was partially precipitated by Thioridizine which has marked anti-cholinergic side effects. However, on three separate occasions this patient was treated by Thioridizine in similar dosage for at least one month and suffered no urinary retention.…”

Paruresis is a social anxiety disorder characterized by a fear of being unable to urinate in the presence of others. This condition has not been covered in the social work literature, yet is a perfect example of a person-in-environment problem. This article explores the use of graduated exposure therapy during weekend-long workshops for the treatment of paruresis. One hundred one participants participated in workshops and were administered pretreatment, posttreatment, and 1-year follow-up treatment scales. Repeated measures analysis of variance indicated significant improvement in shy bladder symptoms. Significant improvement in global severity of shy bladder was observed posttreatment and at the 1-year follow-up point. Findings suggest that graduated exposure therapy improves self-reported global severity of shy bladder symptoms and that these gains were maintained at 1-year follow up.

Paruresis or psychogenic urinary retention is a functional disorder of micturition characterized by psychosomatic symptomatology that includes an inability to void urine in public facilities. Through largely non-experimental studies and case reports, clinical investigators have identified characteristics, behaviors, and etiological factors associated with the disorder. Although few reports about paruresis appear in the literature, a review is presented to describe the disorder and compare treatments used. As adjuncts to a multifaceted approach to treatment, the 1948 Kegel exercises and the use of beta-adrenergic blocking drugs are specific methods for alleviating the maladaptive symptomatology.
