Because of the departure of the mentally retarded from cloistered institutions and their placement in community living arrangements, community mental health professionals are being called on more than ever to help the retarded and their parents deal responsibly with issues of sexuality. The mental health professional who would counsel the retarded must first develop and appreciation of the unique medical and social issues that can affect the sexual expression of the retarded. These issues include sexual maturation, reproductive ability, contraception, sterilization, abortion, and sex education. The author, through a review of the literature, discuss these issues and offers guidance to counselors struggling with the difficult decisions concerning sexual expression among the mentally retarded.
由于智力迟钝者离开封闭机构并安置到社区生活环境中，社区心理健康专业人员比以往任何时候都更被要求帮助智力迟钝者及其父母负责任地处理性方面的问题。为智力迟钝者提供咨询的心理健康专业人员必须首先认识到可能影响智力迟钝者性表达的独特医学和社会问题。这些问题包括性成熟、生殖能力、避孕、绝育、堕胎和性教育。作者通过文献综述讨论了这些问题，并为在智力迟钝者性表达相关艰难决策上挣扎的咨询师提供指导。
