Impotence is a widespread phenomenon; about half of couples entering sex therapy and one quarter of those entering marital therapy will complain of this problem. As baby boomers enter their fifties and grow older during the next few decades, many more men will be affected by this problem. In this groundbreaking work, Gerald Weeks and Nancy Gambescia present the first serious discussion of comprehensive psychological and medical treatments for erectile dysfunction after the advent of Viagra.
Though most recently Viagra has catapulted discussion of erectile dysfunction to the front pages of major newspapers and, via television, American living rooms, there are actually a number of different treatment options available. In fact, medical therapies for erectile dysfunction have developed at an ever-increasing pace in the last 20 years. Yet, despite widespread advances made in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, the field of sex therapy has lagged significantly behind in how it addresses the problem.
The authors offer an integrated approach that examines both the organic and psychological factors contributing to erectile dysfunction. With this treatment model integrating both medical and psychological therapies, the authors also stress the role of the couple's relationship in the etiology and treatment of the dysfunction. The book presents medical information (about various kinds of drugs as well as other interventions); physiological information (why certain drugs work and why some don't); psychological information (the effects of the disorder on both the individual and the couple); and practical information (when and how to seek treatment and what type of treatment works best under different conditions).
For sex and couple therapists and physicians, Erectile Dysfunction presents a systematic method for evaluating erectile dysfunction, determining whether its basis is primarily organic or psychogenic, and treating it by integrating medical interventions with sex and marital therapy. For the person seeking treatment (and for his spouse), the book offers a thorough and impartial discussion of the disorder.

Erectile Dysfunction
I found a copy of this book on the shelf at my father's nursing home and decided to order myself a copy. Having just qualified for Medicare, I'm trying to figure out who I am, and I thought this book would help. No. It's not a bad book; it's just not for me. I needed specifics, I got generalizations. McCain, a psychotherapist, could not resist writing psychobabble underlaid with a New Age philosophy that denies the existence of any higher power beyond Mother Earth. She wraps her ideas around the elements--earth, air, fire and water--with a good dose of Greek and Roman mythology and offers a list of principles for being not just an old lady but an "elderwoman." They are good principles, things like simplicity, caring for the earth, being earth-centered, and finding balance. Embrace each moment with "radical aliveness," she says. Meditate, eat natural foods, exercise, recycle. All good, but it was a slow read and not quite what I was hoping for. The book is well researched with an extensive bibliography.
