Maladaptive defense mechanisms are associated with decoupling of testosterone from sexual desire in women of reproductive age

When the above article was first published online, Tables 4, 5 and 6 contained errors that are corrected below.
Tables 4, 5 and 6 reported several non-significant p values that were listed incorrectly. In the revisions stage, the editor revised the decimal places of these non-significant p values to three places, which had been rounded to the 2nd decimal place in the original manuscript. The authors' submitted corrections, which reported the actual 3-digit values, were not incorporated at the proof stage due to editorial oversight. The editor apologizes for the error.
However, the significant values reported in the original manuscript were all correct. Therefore, this corrigendum does not in any way affect the reported results, nor the conclusions drawn from the findings.

Note: Significant correlations appear in bold.
T1 = baseline testosterone.
T2 = testosterone elicited by sexual fantasy.
aDichotomous variable: 0 = scores below 3.17 (suggesting hypoactive desire); 1 = scores equal or above 3.17 suggesting normal desire. Fifteen women (22.10%) had scores suggesting hypoactive desire.
