Abstract

This article describes how a particular approach to sexual difficulties allows a useful therapeutic relationship with patients to be developed. Combined with an understanding of the dynamics encountered in the genital examination, it is possible for any interested GP to engage in psychosexual work. The Institute of Psychosexual Medicine has been training GPs and other doctors for over 40 years.
