Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the major chronic debilitating diseases frequently seen in hospital settings. The disease appears usually after the age of fifty and often predicts a shortened life span. The present paper is a review of the literature relating to the psychological aspects of this disease. The impact on psychosocial coping and adaptation will be discussed, specifically the effects on marital and sexual functioning and the quality of life of the patient. Psycho-social treatment goals useful to the COPD patient and his family will be raised and elaborated on.
