  • Title: Sexual expression of mentally retarded people: educational and legal implications.
    Author: Abramson PR, Parker T, Weisberg SR.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1988 Nov; 93(3):328-34. PubMed ID: 3067737.
    Abstract:
    Issues of legal consent and competency, in addition to the relevant psychological literature, were reviewed in relation to institutional policy for sexual management of mentally retarded individuals. The significance of comprehensive sex education was also discussed. Finally, suggestions were provided that minimize prejudicial treatment of mentally retarded people, without eliminating their opportunities for sexual expression.
