title: [Psychosexual interventions combined with biologic therapy of erectile dysfunction].
abstract: The authors, beginning from che concept of erectile disorder with mixed pathogenesis, describe its clinical dimension. The psychic variables which prevent the use of biologic-andrologic therapy (FIC, penis prosthesis) are then considered: 1) psycho-sexual difficulties before the onset of the organic lesion; 2) the partner's relationship with the biologic-andrologic therapy; 3) the patients' relationship with the biologic therapy. A model of intervention (Group Psycho-sexologic Intervention) on the psychic variables interfering with the use of the biologic-andrologic therapy is then described. The authors end by considering the psychological impact and the possible psychoiatrogenicity of biologic-andrologic therapies.
