Clinical approach to the sexuality of patients with spinal cord injury.
This article discusses four complex clinical perspectives on the sexual impact of spinal cord injury: the sexual equilibrium between two people, the sexual psychology of one individual, the general biology of the organically impaired person, and the sexual pathophysiology of the spinal cord deficit. These topics affect the re-establishment and maintenance of a sexual life after irreversible spinal cord trauma.
