Six cases (5 females and 1 male) of unexplained urinary retention are reported. The diagnosis of psychogenic urinary retention was considered after negative medical, urologic, urodynamic, and neurologic evaluations. This diagnosis was then confirmed by psychiatric consultation. Urinary retention was managed by combining biofeedback-monitored relaxation and specific imagery techniques with intermittent self-catheterization on a fixed schedule. Psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and behavior therapy were also utilized with good to excellent short-term results.
