Overview: Das Wirken Heinz SahnersHeinz Sahner ist ein Wissenschaftler, der sich durch Offenheit gegenüber divergierenden Positionen sowie durch Neugierde auf neue Themen und Arbeitsfelder auszeichnete und auszeichnet. Mit den Kenntnissen und Kompetenzen der Kölner Schule ausgestattet, praktizierte er selbst eine Art von phänomenologisch inspirierter Personalführung. Ihm ging es immer um die Sache der Soziologie, nicht um Zuordnungen oder Abgrenzungen; ein Denken mit Geländern war seine Sache nie. Die Vielfalt der Themen und das damit einhergehende Neuansetzen im Verlauf seiner wissenschaftlic

Overview: When confronted by the concerns of human sexual function or dys­ function, American medicine finds itself well impaled on the horns of a dilemma. Currently it is acceptable medical practice to treat sexual dysfunctions, disorders, or dissatisfactions that arise from psy­ chogenic etiologies, endocrine imbalances, neurologic defects or are side effects of necessary medication regimes. In addition, implanta­ tion of penile prostheses in cases of organic impotence is an increas­ ingly popular surgical procedure. These clinical approaches to sexual inadequacies, accepted by medicine sinc
