Implication

Randomized controlled trial assessed body image and sexual self-concept in women with vaginismus, suggesting schema therapy has greater sustained effects.

Key Points

  • Schema therapy significantly improved sexual self-concept, showing a mean difference of 13.48 from pre-test to follow-up.
  • Both treatments resulted in significant gains in self-body relations and sexual self-concept, outperforming the control group.
  • The randomized controlled trial involved 45 women, with participants assigned to dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, or a control group.
  • Findings highlight that while both therapies are effective, schema therapy yields better outcomes in deeper identity-related areas.
