Extract

Although the literature relating to the prognosis of male potency disorders and the factors that influence this is vast, there is a dearth of factual data on the subject. Most of the opinions expressed, without supporting figures, are clinical impressions, and the majority indicate that the outcome of therapy in these disorders is generally favourable (Ellis, 1948; Jones, 1919; Rees 1935; Allen, 1962; Stafford-Clark, 1954; Gutheil, 1959). However, Johnson's (1965b) recent important contribution has challenged this consensus; he suggests that; with or without treatment, the prognosis in disordered potency is much worse than has hitherto been believed.
