title: [Psychodynamic approach to sex disorders].
abstract: When treating patients with sexual disorders, the necessary distinction between organic and functional dysfunction is far from being sufficient in itself, and may even inspire an over-inflexible and rigid therapeutic attitude. The psychodynamic approach sets out to take into consideration the patient's appeal in its entirety, including the symptoms described. In psychodynamic theory, sexotherapy is one form of psychotherapy, but the therapeutic attitude will not be fundamentally modified by the fact that a disorder is functional or organic.
