title: Short-term psychosomatic treatment of sexual problems.
abstract: This is a review of 172 couples presenting with psychosexual problems. Ninety-four per cent of couples treated showed improvement after a mean time of 2.1 hours with the doctor. Older patients and those with longstanding problems showed lower rates of improvement. It is suggested that if such problems are treated it may help to reduce the rate of sexually transmitted diseases.
