title: Psychogenic impotence: a critical review.
abstract: A critical review of the literature on psychogenic impotence is undertaken with special reference to recent advances in objective evaluation of erectile function and radiographic visualization of the penile arteries. Standardization of nomenclature, subclassification of acute versus insidious erectile dysfunction, insistence on objective criteria for declaring erectile dysfunction or a cure of the same, and the reestablishment of psychogenic impotence as a diagnosis of exclusion are to be encouraged.
