The hypnotherapeutic treatment of impotence.
Fifty cases of primary and secondary impotency are presented. A breakdown of the patients as to age shows that the problem is wide-spread from youth to middle-age; in this study there was a mean age of 29.40 years. All patients who remained in therapy were able to perform sexually at the time of their discharge. In followup of 66% of the patients, all stated they were doing well except for two. Hypnosis used as an uncovering modality is shown to be markedly effective. This, incorporated with ego-strengthening and new self-image suggestions, seems to be the treatment of choice for psychogenic impotence.
