Sexual activity is considered to be an activity of daily living by the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, and it is valued among many people. Clients who experience an illness or injury are entitled to engage in that occupation, but sexuality is not typically or regularly addressed in occupational therapy's clinical or educational settings. This book is intended for occupational therapy clinicians, educators, and students who seek to acquire greater understanding of how to address sexuality concerns in occupational therapy practice, including approaching the topic, understanding the specifics, and referring to an appropriate specialist in this area. Highlights include-, Overview of Occupational Therapy and Sexuality, Arthritis and Sexuality, Cancer and Sexuality, Diabetes and Sexuality, Spinal Cord Injury and Sexuality, Cardiovascular Disease and Sexuality, Traumatic Brain Injury and Sexuality, Stoke and Sexuality, Mental Disorders and Sexuality, Adolescents With Disabilities and Sexuality. Occupational therapy endeavors to treat the "whole person," and Sexuality and Occupational Therapy reflects that holistic spirit of the profession.
