ABSTRACT
This book has resulted from the author's 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. Though they are difficult and distasteful at times, this analysis is stimulating, provocative and shocking.
