Disability, Intimacy, and Sexual Health: A Social Work Perspective by Kristen Faye Linton, Heidi Adams Rueda, and Lela Rankin Williams
In this book the authors compile comprehensive research and candid interviews with social workers to explore the complicated intersection of disability and sexuality. The
book begins by detailing historical violations of the sexual and reproductive rights of people with disabilities, including forced castration and sterilization.
It then explores current issues of sexuality and disability throughout the life course, starting with childhood and adolescence. The authors examine the increased risk of abuse and victimization that people with disabilities face while in romantic or sexual relationships and provide practice recommendations to help combat factors that contribute to this vulnerability.
