“…Lack of trust, communication and educational awareness were consistently found in the results of research studies when acknowledging the conflicts that arose throughout interprofessional collaboration. Additionally, the lack of teamwork skills led to the struggle of relinquishing leadership and power which was also a common finding in the results of various research studies (Abramson and Mizrahi 1996;Badger et al 1997;Kainz 2002;McMinn et al 2003McMinn et al , 1998Mizrahi and Abramson 2000;Williams et al 1978).…”

“…Sex therapists and physicians should understand the work of the other and value how each play a role in assessing and treating ED. Sex therapists and physicians can build and nurture relationships with each other by giving presentations about their work, showing how they help treat ED, and learning about the others' needs [16]. A presentation over lunch or breakfast can be a great way to network professionally.…”

“…This collaborative process requires that both sex therapists and physicians be willing to seek and maintain these relationships. As physicians learn the role of sex therapists in treating ED, they may struggle with how to explain this to patients and how to verbalize referrals [16]. Sex therapists can give suggestions to physicians about what to say to patients when making a referral.…”

“…A sex therapist could work at the physician's clinic 2 days a week, or a sex therapy clinic might have a physician present for a similar amount of time. Whether sex therapists and physicians work in the same office or different clinics, they should communicate in a timely fashion, either verbally or in writing, and use language that is helpful and easily understood (eg, avoid psychological or medical jargon) [16].…”

The role of sex therapists in treating erectile dysfunction: Working toward multidisciplinary treatment with physicians

Sex therapists use unique skills to assess and treat nonmedical factors that contribute to the causation or maintenance of erectile dysfunction. In addition to conducting thorough psychosocial evaluations, sex therapists elicit in-depth sex histories, assess possible patterns of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and evaluate potential relationship dynamics associated with erection problems. Sex therapists evaluate sociocultural influences, psychosexual trauma, sexual skills or techniques, emotional factors, psychological conflicts, performance anxiety, intimacy dysfunction, and sexual attitudes. The work of sex therapists should complement the work of medical professionals, leading to a multidisciplinary approach to the assessment and treatment of erectile dysfunction. Aside from understanding and appreciating this standard of care for erectile problems, sex therapists and physicians need to take active steps to build and nurture these collaborative relationships.

“…A study conducted by Meyer-Probst, Roether and Wolfram (2002) found, however, that although the majority of physician endorsed the use of a holistic, interdisciplinary approach (integrating medical and psychological expertise), only one in five (19.2%) had practised in this way at the beginning of his / her professional career owing to the nature of medical education. Physicians identified three main barriers to professional collaboration with psychologists (Kainz, 2002;Goldsmith, Wittenberg-Lyles, Rodriguez, & Sanchez-Reilly, 2010); these concerned the time pressure under which medical consult ations and interventions are carried out in hospital settings (e.g., need for emergency treatment), the lack of understand ing of the objectives and techniques used in psychological intervention (e.g., uncertainty about the boundary between Psychology and Psy chiatry), and the differences in profes sional cul tures and related problems in com-munication.…”

modelos integrados de asistencia basados en el enfoque bio-psico-social, en los servicios de salud, como los hospitales, existe todavía mucha resistencia para su implementación. Se presenta un estudio exploratorio cualitativo dirigido a comprender las representaciones y las demandas de los médicos hospitalarios con respecto a la intervención psicológica en los contextos hospitalarios italianos. Conforme a este objetivo se desarrolló un guión de entrevista semi-estructurada y se entrevistaron 15 médicos italianos divididos por género, edad y especialidad médica. Fueron investigados las representaciones de la enfermedad, el acercamiento a los pacientes y los modelos de intervención, la experiencia de colaboración con psicólogos, las representaciones de dónde, cuándo y cómo los psicólogos podrían ser útiles en el contexto hos pitalario, las visiones generales del hospital y de su futuro, los puntos de fuerza y de debilidad de su trabajo, las estrategias utilizadas para superar las dificultades diarias y las estrategias propuestas pa ra mejorar el sistema hospitalario. El análisis de contenido de las entrevistas ha revelado que la intervención psicológica está representada predominantemente como una intervención a nivel individual dirigida a contener el distrés emocional en relación con la enfermedad. Además se ha evidenciado la falta de consideración de la competencia psicológica como útil para promocionar el funcionamiento organizativo de los servicios hospitalarios. Estos resultados pueden apoyar la investigación futura en esta área y son utilizados para discutir las oportunidades de un diálogo constructivo entre ciencias médica y psicológica en los contextos hospitalarios.Palabras clave: Competencia psicológica; Intervención psicológica; Contextos hospitalarios; Mé-dicos hospitalarios; Representaciones; Demandas. abstractDuring the years, the World Health Organization has been emphasising the importance of promoting integrated models of care consistent with a bio-psycho-social approach to health-illness. Nonetheless, healthcare services still show much resistance to the implementation of such models and the use of multidisciplinary teams. As a consequence, and despite the efforts made over the years by psychologists, the role and specificity of psychological competence in healthcare settings InterdIscIplInarIa, 2017, 34, 1, 5-23 continues to remain unclear. This is particularly true as regards hospital settings. Based on these considerations, this article presents an exploratory qualitative study aimed at understanding hospital physicians' representations of, and demands for, psychological intervention in Italian hospital settings. The main argument on which the study was based is that the integration of psychological competence into hospital settings very much depends on other professionals' representation of the psychological profession, as well as on the emotional symbolization of their work context and professional practice. A key role is played by physicians, whose representations of the psychological i...
