Abstract
Psychogenic impotence is far more common than organic impotence and may co-exist with, or be a result of it. Psychological principles of therapy may be needed for all impotent patients treated by the urologist. These principles include re-education in sexual function, removal of pressure for male performance, bringing existing performance fears to the surface for therapy, teaching patients techniques to deal with the fears, teaching the partner proper cooperation and improving the communications between the 2 partners.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
