General practitioners are familiar with the idea that illnesses are seldom due to purely physical or purely emotional causes. The input of each side has to be weighed at every consultation. Seminar training can foster the skill of keeping an open mind, and promote the study of the interaction between the body and the mind, which is especially important in the sexual area of the patient’s life.

Doctors learn to look for and think about direct clinical evidence in the ‘here and now’ of the consultation. Such evidence can provide powerful hints about the patient’s predicament. If and when the patient chooses to talk about past relationships and memories, these will have been remembered because they have special meaning for the patient in the present. They are then far more relevant to the current problem than answers provided in reply to questions about the past history.
