A psychosomatic study was made in 19 patients with functional disorders of erection, 6 with organic impotence, 25 with infertility, by two different personality tests in questionaire; Cornell Medical Index (CMI), Yatabe-Guilford (Y-G test).
Above 60 per cent of functional impotence were diagnosed as neurotic, classified in the 3rd and 4th areas of CMI card. On the other hand, 80 per cent of infertile cases were diagnosed to be normal, in the 1st and 2nd areas of CMI card.
According to Y-G test, abnormal personality in functional impotence was recognized in 47.4 per cent. However, only 8 per cent in infertile cases were found to be abnormal.
As mentioned above, abnormal personality was more frequently observed in functional impotence than in controls of infertile patients. These results demonstrated that abnormal personality as well as psychological stressors had possible etiological importance in functional impotence. Furthermore, a close correlation between the results of CMI and Y-G tests were observed in functional impotence. There fore, these two personality tests seemed to be useful and reliable clinically in diagnosis or treatment of functional impotence.
