A special feature of the book is a list of international sexual referral centers at which patients anywhere in the world may seek appropriate care and assistance.
Sexual Rehabilitation of the Spinal-Cord-Injured Patient's unique focus is on the psychoemotional aspects of sexuality, reminding the reader that sexuality-one of the most intense human emotions-should not be denied the handicapped.
