title: Sexual potency: a pioneer's thirty-five-year overview.
abstract: Thirty-five years of interest in human sexual potency are summarized, citing my clinical research and periodic publications during those decades. Emergence of scientific study of human sexuality has been rapid in recent years, leading to improved diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to benefit the impotent male. Although my approach pertained primarily to psychogenic etiology, the interdigitation of emotional and organic factors is emphasized. Currently utilized surgical and pharmacodynamic treatments are noted, as are probable future methodologies.
