Abstract

![CDATA[Premenstrual distress is now widely recognized to be a major social and health problem, with epidemiological surveys estimating that 95% of women experience physical and psychological changes premenstrually. Up to 40% experience moderate distress, categorized by clinicians and researchers as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and 11–13% experience severe distress and disruption to their lives, categorized as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) (Steiner & Born, 2000). However, ever since discussions of premenstrual distress first appeared contemporaneously in the medical and psychoanalytic literature in 1931, this has been a research field dogged by controversy and disagreement.]]
