Paraplegia creates social, sexual and emotional problems, and the impact of these was investigated in an interview study of 22 male and female paraplegics. Of particular concern was the way in which individuals were coping with the difficulties confronting them. People used a number of strategies for dealing with other people and their attitudes, and for readjusting sexually. In dealing with their own personal feelings about their disability, ways of coping were varied and included suppression, denial and repression, resignation and acceptance, positive thinking and independence and assertiveness. No specific recommendations can be made about ways of coping that will be most adaptive, since these will depend upon the individual and his or her circumstances. What is important for counselling, however, is to recognise the range of coping strategies that are available, and to be able to guide the individual toward those which effect the best match between their needs and the demands of the situation.
截瘫会引发社会、性和情感方面的问题，在一项针对22名男女截瘫患者的访谈研究中，对这些问题的影响进行了调查。特别令人关注的是个体应对所面临困难的方式。人们采用了多种策略来应对他人及其态度，并在性方面进行重新调整。在处理自身对残疾的个人感受时，应对方式多种多样，包括压抑、否认、压制、顺从与接受、积极思考、独立与坚定。对于哪种应对方式最具适应性，无法给出具体建议，因为这将取决于个体及其情况。然而，对于咨询而言，重要的是要认识到可用的应对策略范围，并能够引导个体选择那些最能使其需求与情境要求相匹配的策略。
