Hi Trixie If you email me an address, I can post you the UKPT brochure, which you can give to the therapist, or anyone else. At the beginning it says: "(paruresis).. was first researched and defined by Williams and Degenhardt in their paper “Paruresis: a survey of a disorder of micturition” in the Journal of General Psychology, 1954, 51, 19-29. It is listed on the NHS Direct’s website: see Complex Phobias in the section on Phobias. Even the Home Office Prison Service has procedures to cater for paruresis in prison. The letter from the Home Office detailing these is on our website: see News & Info, Projects, or contact us direct." It could be helpful to point this out to anyone who looks as if they dont know what it is. In the meantime, let's try to get a small "women's workshop" going. cheers Andrew Chairman
