Department of Urology, Medical University Centre of Cologne, Cologne and
*Office of Psychotherapy, Munich, Germany OBJECTIVE: In contrast of the
impressive advances made in somatic research of erectile dysfunction,
psychogenic erectile dysfunction is mostly treated as a monolithic block. We
evaluatetd the erectogenic power of imagination of divergent self-concepts in
men with psychogenic erecile dysfunction. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: 32 men with erectile dysfunction of no known organic cause with a mean
age of 46 years (range 26-63 y) were entered in a placebo controlled study in
which the erectogenic power of imagination and a placebo were compared. All
patients were assessed using a standard protocol which included history and
examination, colour flow duplex doppler ultrasonography, and werde indicated
Rigiscan nocturnal penile tumescence testing and / or dynamic infusion
caversonometry and caversonography. METHOD AND
BACKGROUND: The new method of imagination of divergent self-concepts developed by
Obenaus works on the principle of following integration of two concepts of
the beginning into a unified third concept. These concepts are expressed by
imagined pictures wich finally are painted or drawn by the patients. The
third picture containes positive changes of feelings and characteristics of
the patient. RESULTS: 32 patients were
rondomised, two patients never returned for follw-up, six patients wanted to
have other treatment options, so 24 patients are evaluable for effect
assessment. There was significant difference in the subjective results by
imagination of divergent self-concepts (60% increase of potence) compared to
placebo (16% increase of potence). CONCLUSION:
Imagination
of divergent self-concepts is a potent initiator of erections in men with
psychogenic erectile dysfuncion, has no known side effects and ist very cost
efficient. s.a. Nayal, W., *Obenaus, K., Klotz, Th.,
