Prise en charge psycho-sexologique du patient impuissant

The symptom of impotence is, in the vast majority of cases, extremely welldefined. However, therapeutic approaches incorporate various strategies, including: andrological, analytical and behavioural. A great advance in recent years was due to the development of “integrative models” such as the “American Model” by Helen Kaplan, the “Geneva Model” of Willy Pasini, and our proposed “Parisian Model”, which is founded on the principles of analytical sexotherapy, and comprises several clearly defined stages. The management of impotence must not be restricted only to pharmacological treatment.
