Abstract
This paper explains that the inability to perform in a typical manner during sexual intimacies takes its toll on the emotional well being of any relationship and therefore on the quality of life of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). The author points out that there are now many treatment options, including medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), which have shown promise of improving the lives of many, but not all, people suffering from ED. The paper states that the proposed research will compare, using both quantitative and qualitative data, three non-invasive treatment options: medication, individual therapy and relationship counseling.

From the Paper
"The high rates of probability for partial or complete ED is demonstrative of the need to analyze the problem in a comprehensive manner, especially considering that there are likely many individuals in the population who are excluded for medical reasons from taking oral medications to help resolve or treat the problem of ED as it is also often likely to be associated with medical care for other, more life threatening diseases. ED can be caused by medications used to treat high blood pressure and other high risk medical diagnoses as well as by chronic medical conditions such as diabetes."

Abstract
This paper examines erectile dysfunction in the older adult. It describes possible causes, treatment, and prevention. The paper presents the various medicines available for treatment of this problem and discusses their effectiveness. The paper provides great detail about the body and the possible causes of the dysfunction. This paper takes the reader through treatment options, such as medicines, exercise, and physical therapy.
From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction is commonly labeled as an age related condition in males. The disorder affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection at least 25% of his attempts. Until recently men and their physicians did not discuss problems such as Erectile Dysfunction as openly as they do today. Men often experience embarrassment and a loss of confidence when struggling with ED. This emotional stress can lead to prolonged effects of the disorder leaving them in a cycle. Many diseases have now been linked to ED including heart disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer. Research is being done to dissect the physiological causes of ED including Nitric Oxide deficiency and poor circulation. New medications such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Tadalafil (Cialis) have surfaced making treatment more accessible as well as more effective. Research and surveys are being done on chemical treatments, increased education, and the effects of new medications. Other interventions are used such as surgery and vacuum devices but the recent medications have had the most success (Well-Connected, 2002)."

Analysis
From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction not only affects the physical aspect of relationships, but also impacts the emotional side of relationships. Erectile dysfunction affects an estimated 10 to 20 million men in America. This number may be under-reported because of the possibility that some men may not tell their physician or seek treatment for the problem out of embarrassment or other reasons (Andolsek, 1997).
Erectile dysfunction affects sexual performance as well as self-esteem for the men who have it. "

Abstract
This essay examines erectile dysfunction and how it is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. This author discusses the problems and chemical and non-chemical cures associated with impotence, risk factors, and the psychological effects of erectile dysfunction. The paper includes several charts and diagrams of chemical compounds.
From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. In fact, 34% of American men aged 51 to 88 experience severe erectile dysfunction and 52% of all men aged 40 to 70 experienced some degree of impotence. These numbers account for 16% of the general male population, estimating that 1 in 5 men will experience sexual dysfunction in their lifetimes, Handy. Erectile dysfunction occurs when there are erection problems, medical causes, or physiological factors associated with sexual intimacy. However, over the past several years, many pharmaceutical companies have developed both chemical products and non-chemical solutions to help fight this problem."

From the Paper
" Erectile dysfunction, the current term used for impotence, is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection. It affects 15 million to 20 million men in the United States. In the past, this condition was thought to be caused mainly by psychological factors, but more recent studies have shown that an organic cause exists in 70 percent to 80 percent of cases. Although erectile dysfunction can occur at any age, 25 percent of men older than 60 suffer from the condition. This paper will look at the causes and effects of erectile dysfunction in the elderly and the treatments available.
Understanding erectile dysfunction requires understanding the male reproductive system and how it works. The external genitalia of the male consist of the penis and the testes (testicles). Baldwin (1991) describes the male reproductive.."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of whether sexual dysfunction in the elderly is a result of disease and physical conditions or an aspect of the aging process. The paper holds that changes in sexual desire and activity may be the result of a wide range of biological, social, emotional, cultural and environmental factors. The paper suggests that, while sexual dysfunction is related to a combination of the aging process and disease conditions, it may also largely be the result of misguided beliefs about aging and sexuality. The paper concludes that a great proportion of sexual problems are associated with the conditions of older people's lives and with social attitudes about aging and sexuality. It holds that the majority of issues related to sexual dysfunction can be addressed through heath teaching.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One reason for sexual dysfunction is relatively easily addressed and has important implications for nursing. Lack of information about sexual dysfunction and embarrassment on the part of men to discuss the issue needs to be addressed through sensitive health teaching. Erectile dysfunction can produce a significant psychological and social impact on the patient and his partner. In addition, it is associated with depression, anxiety, and loss of self-esteem in both partners. Even though society is open about the problem of erectile dysfunction, men generally are not inclined to seek help. However, since erectile dysfunction could be the first manifestation of cardiovascular disease as well as diabetes, it is extremely important that he care provider inquire about the problem during patient visits (Kolodny, 2003)."

Abstract
According to a study in the Journal of American Medical Association, four out of ten women and three out of ten men experience sexual problems. This paper examines reasons for sexual dysfunction, including physical and emotional triggers. It then examines the impact on a relationship and what can be done to treat the various degrees of dysfunction.
From the Paper
"Behavioral therapy and antidepressant drugs are found to be valuable in countering premature ejaculation. But it is more important to concentrate on the emotional and personal intimacy of the affected couple to cure the problem. It is useful to obtain a thorough sexual history from the patient and from the partner. A careful plan must be outlined that requires dedication, patience and commitment from both partners. The primary task is to get rid of the "performance anxiety" in the man."

Abstract
This paper looks at examples of symptoms of dysfunction within a company such as indirect communication, alliances, a loss of corporate memory and a lack of friendship among professional colleagues. It examines different models of organization such as the structural model, the deterministic model and the computational model to determine which are useful in solving the problem of dysfunction within a company.
From the Paper
"Another model of organization is the competency model. A competency model identifies skills, knowledge and the characteristics necessary to perform a job. These models have been in use for more than three decades. In the last five years, interest in them and their potential to help staffing and development efforts has increased dramatically. This interest will continue to grow over the next few years due to three key, related trends: intensified competition, aggressive cost management and downsizing, and the proliferation of a feedback system."

Abstract
The types of sexual dysfunction that this paper explores are those on the psychological side of the fence. The writer presents this correlation between emotion and sexuality from the view of all the major genres of discourse; thus, the paper ranges from neurobiology to philosophy and back again. Specifically, this work is divided into four main sections that include neurobiology, psychology, social taboos, and philosophy and treatment. Moreover, the paper is an attempt to show that emotions and emotional states play a fundamental role in all functional and dysfunctional sexual relations on all levels.
From the Paper
"Of course it is first important to define exactly what we refer to when we speak of sexual dysfunction and/or perversion, and further that we distinguish the special forms of dysfunction that this paper will concern itself with. The encyclopedia Britannica defines sexual dysfunction as the inability of a person to experience sexual arousal or to achieve sexual satisfaction under appropriate circumstances, as a result of either physical disorder or, more commonly, psychological problems. This definition clearly alludes to what is considered perverse sexual behavior, which is the secondary form of dysfunction. Then sexual perversion is defined as any deviation from ?normal? sexual activity, normal in this case referring to culturally acceptable forms of sexuality (?Sexual Dysfunction?). The other feature of this definition that is important to my agenda is that it makes a clear distinction between what is considered physical and psychological sexual dysfunction. The difference between these two forms of dysfunction should be clear as the physical is an actual inability to perform sexually due to some malfunction or damage to the physical body, then the psychological refers to psychosomatic sexual disorders."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Rape Trauma Syndrome (RTS) brings fear and anxiety to the very area of life that should bring intimacy and comfort. Studies of individuals in society and in the prison population have shown the devastating physical and emotional impact that the invasion of the act of rape can cause. Invasive sexual abuse in childhood or as an adult can cause symptoms ranging from panic attacks to drug abuse. It is important that those who offer sexual counseling be aware of the specific signs of RTS so that they can offer more than standard treatment to free individuals from the deep pain and fear that is held by those experiencing RTS.

Family Dysfunction and Youth Violence, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea that a program focused on deterring separation and divorce, will eventually lead to a decrease in juvenile delinquency. The paper illustrates the evident link between broken homes and increased rates of criminal offence, but emphasizes that this is only one of many issues which can be equally predictive of delinquency. The paper provides a more comprehensive solution to the problem, that of a family intervention program. This program is briefly outlined.
From the Paper
"According to Juby and Farrington (2001), research concerning the impact of marital breakdown on the delinquency rates of juveniles has increased dramatically since the 1960s. While studies do show a definite link between broken homes and increased rates of criminal offending, the data is not substantial enough to warrant a program that should be focused on deterring separation and divorce. The majority of studies in this area point to single parent homes being one of many factors contributing to increased delinquency, and also show that high conflict two-parent homes can be equally predictive of delinquency (Juby & Farrington, 2001). It, therefore, appears that family intervention programs would better serve the goal of decreased crime rates if one were to focus on increasing parental engagement in the lives of their children, reducing family conflict and violence, and early intervention programs that provide support and education to families in need."

Introduction
This research examines the phenomenon of cervical spine dysfunction. The anatomy of the spine and the biomechanics of movement are reviewed before the dysfunction of the cervical spine and physiotherapeutic techniques that may be used on subjects suffering from cervical spine dysfunction are examined.
Anatomy of the Spine
The human spine is comprised of 24 vertebrae. These vertebrae are small bones which as a set contain the spinal cord. The 24 vertebrae are grouped into three sections which correspond with their location on the spine. The three sections are (1) the cervical spine, which is comprised of the vertebrae located in the neck, (2) the thoracic spine, which is comprised of the vertebrae .."

Abstract
A comparison of the dysfunction in the two families portrayed in David Adams Richards "Nights Below Station Street" and Ann-Marie MacDonald's "Fall On Your Knees." The paper argues that the former family achieves redemption through their love but the latter suffers attrition and cannot overcome their high level of dysfunctional interaction.
From the Paper
"Family dysfunction typically characterizes family relations to one degree or another in most families. However, in David Adams Richards' "Nights Below Station Street" and Ann-Marie MacDonald's "Fall On Your Knees," if it were not for family dysfunction the families depicted would not function at all. Richards provides a tale of the Walsh's, a working-class family from the wrong side of the tracks in a small mill town in New Brunswick."
