Single session psychotherapy in secondary male impotence

The feasibility of re-achieving sexual potency in males suffering from secondary impotence of nonorganic origin by the use of brief psychotherapy is demonstrated. Four cases are presented in which this result was achieved in a single session, as well as two others in which some further work had to be done. The importance of intervening psychotherapeutically as early as possible is stressed. Some of the prevalent dynamic features found in these cases are discussed.
