- Abstract
Psychogenic cough in adults is not commonly reported and the treatment of the medically unexplainable symptom is a challenge to the health professionals. A case of 26 year old married male from Afghanistan, who was having cough for one year duration, diagnosed as psychogenic headache was administered Somatic Inkblot Series (SIS-II). He avoided perceiving sexual responses on images generally depicting sexual imagery, may indicate deep rooted sexual conflict. The SIS responses further helped in planning and providing integrative psychotherapy to him. Follow up of the client after one year showed that he is free of symptoms, has legally migrated to one of the European countries and is effectively engaged in work. There were two responses, which may be typical for Afghans, which needs further exploration. There is a need for revamping the therapeutic supervision of the trainees while dealing with clients who have sexual misconceptions and those who hail from multi-cultural settings.
