title: Identifying sexual dysfunction.
abstract: Many patients present sexual concerns, which they may express openly or in various covert ways. Identifying sexual dysfunction is therefore an important part of family practice. All family doctors must be sexual counsellors at some time, and their effectiveness or lack of it will influence patients' lives. In order to maintain patients' confidence, the family physician must have empathy, non-judgmental counselling skills, and up-to-date information on sexuality.
