Abstract

Clinical material is presented on a single case of impotence in a middle-aged black man. The symbolic meanings of the symptom in terms of the patient’s aggression, feelings about his racial self-image, and the options that allow for male identity are discussed, along with some aspects of an interracial treatment situation in these changing times.
