X. Sexual Needs, Excretory Functions and Pain
Abstract
We have seen that sexual needs, excretory needs and pain are biologically rooted. On this physical basis has been built a complicated psychological superstructure of modes, manners and partners for satisfaction. Before venturing to meet these needs, it is important to understand them with the individual in the light of his background. The general understanding of human beings has to be tailored to fit the individual. Only then can one work towards meeting the patient's needs.
