title: The impotent king: secondary impotence refractory to brief sex therapy.
abstract: Men with a grandiose self-concept may develop secondary impotence that does not respond to sex therapy. The impotence occurs in response to a more self-assertive stance taken by their wives. The more common form of impotence is also presented and contrasted with the "impotent king". Recommendations for treatment are made.
