Abstract:
In a study of 23 diabetic men complaining of impotence, completion of physical tests, self-report psychometric testing, a rating of marital intimacy, and a semi-structured interview revealed that, of ten patients found to be at risk of psychogenic impotence secondary to marital or psychiatric morbidity, five were thought to have adequate erectile response and to have a psychogenic component to their problem. This seems to show high sensitivity, if not specificity, of the self-report questionnaires.
