摘要
The literature on sexual response in spinal cord injured (SCI) adults is reviewed and criticized. Principal characteristics of spinal cord injury are reviewed, and variables usually taken into account in studying sexual behavior in the SCI population are specified. Target behaviors of erection, ejaculation, attempts at intercourse, and male and female orgasm are isolated, and relevant data are reported. Attention is given to conceptual and methodological shortcomings of past research. Literature relevant to remediation of sexual problems in the SCI population is reported, and outcomes are noted. Future directions for research are indicated with particular emphasis placed on the appropriate utilization of psychophysiological techniques. © 1979 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
