title: [Role of psychiatry and psychotherapy in sexual medicine after introductory marketing of viagra].
abstract: Sildenafil (Viagra) is a substance for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Great expectations are connected with its introduction into the market. In this situation the multidimensionality in the control-mechanismus of the sexual reaction and of the satisfaction in the sexual experience are pointed out. These aspects affect the diagnostic and therapeutic competence of psychiatry and psychotherapy in a high degree. Efficient psycho-educative and psychotherapeutic ways of treatment for sexual dysfunction are available. Increased specific knowledge in this area is required by psychiatrists, medical psychotherapists and neuropsychiatrists.
