Further Observations on Androgenic Hormones and Psychic Conflict

EDWARD S. TAUBER M.D.1 and GEORGE E. DANIELS M.D.1

1 Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine, Columbia University, New York, N. Y.

Three cases of androgen insufficiency have been discussed in order to illustrate and emphasize the existence of psychological factors in the handling of such cases. The patient enters the treatment situation presumably with the intention of gaining some help with his sexual problems which are regarded by him primarily as a deficiency condition. In these cases one can see that the urge to treatment is partly an effort to resolve nonsexual insecurities which appear to the patient to be exclusively sexual in nature. Androgen therapy actually hastens a clarification of the patient's problems if not for both the patient and the doctor, at least for the doctor.
