Samenvatting:

This work focuses specifically on the issues relating to the sexuality of people with learning disabilities. At root, these are ethical issues. Sex worries people in our culture and in the case of those we perceive as vulnerable, this can lead us to deny their sexuality.



First Published in 1996. This book has resulted from our awareness of the difficulties that professionals and parents face in accepting the sexuality of the people with learning disabilities with whom they live and work. It has been written at a time when discussion of such difficulties, and awareness of the prevalence of the sexual abuse of people with learning disabilities, is becoming more and more common.
