A Case Report on the Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions and Intensive Therapy (PLISSIT) model: Approach and Guide for Patients with Premature Ejaculation and Anxiety Disorder

Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual disorder in men, characterized by inability to delay ejaculation sufficiently for satisfactory sexual intercourse. PE can cause psychological distress and negatively affect the quality of life of the sufferers and their partners, and may lead to marital discord. We reported a case of a 36-year-old man suffering from PE and an anxiety disorder, and the therapeutic challenges with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The utilization of PLISSIT model for the intervention of PE for this patient and his partner was described.
