Abstract
Arab patients (68) suffering from psychogenic sexual inadequacy were compared with 54 nonpsychiatric controls. The patients showed a greater preponderance of negative feelings towards their fathers and the opposite towards their mothers. Parental loss and disharmony were not significant contributory factors. More control subjects slept alone between the ages of 7 and 12 yr. More patients slept with their brothers and sisters during the same interval. The rank distribution showed that the eldest 1st males figured prominently among the patients. The sexually inadequate patients showed a higher incidence of neurotic symptoms during childhood. A positive family history of mental illness did not differentiate patients from controls.
