This article examines the positive and negative aspects of psychiatry encompassing sexual medicine within its purview.
MEDLINE searches for the period between 1980 to the present were performed with the terms "psychiatry," "sexual medicine," and "sexual dysfunction." In addition, sexual medicine texts were reviewed for chapters relevant to this topic.
Psychiatry, the only medical discipline trained to integrate both biological and psychological factors in making treatment decisions, has been minimally involved in the evolution of the multidisciplinary field known as sexual medicine.
If psychiatry is to maintain a role in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders, it is critical that its training programs include training in sexual medicine.
本文考察了精神病学的正反两方面,包括其范围内的性医学。
使用“精神病学”、“性医学”和“性功能障碍”等术语,对 1980 年至今的 MEDLINE 进行了搜索。此外,还查阅了性医学教材中与该主题相关的章节。
精神病学是唯一一门接受过培训的医学学科,能够综合生物和心理因素来做出治疗决策,但在被称为性医学的多学科领域的发展中,它的参与程度很低。
如果精神病学要在性障碍的诊断和治疗中保持其作用,那么其培训计划中纳入性医学培训至关重要。
