Abstract
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory [MMPI] represents an important adjunct in the screening process for erectile dysfunction. In 69 impotent patients who under MMPI evaluation for the configuration of inventory scales could not identify a specific impotent personality type. The use of the MMPI does not definitively reveal the etiology of the dysfunction but it offers an understanding of the emotional reaction of the patient to penile implantation. It can prevent the use of inappropriate treatment and the development of adverse reactions to implantation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
