Clinic patient. Maladjustment

The ninth in a series of a 10 reel to reel tape recordings of Joan Malleson's pioneering work in sex therapy and councilling from c. early 1950's. Malleson worked in ALRA and then FPA / North Kensington Clinic. Although none of the participants on the recordings are named, some details have been hand-written onto the reel to reel tape boxes. For this particular tape, the hand-written note reads: "Clinical patient. Maladjustment: can get clitoral orgasm, has vaginal anaesthesia but feels penetration. I assumed she had vaginismus, which she had slightly, until I examined her and found also a tender prolapsed ovary. I think this will not cause pain in the fully flexed position. (Not a particularly good record)". See PP/MAL/9a for a digitised copy of this recording.
