Attitude changes following a sexual counseling program for spinal cord injured persons.

The attitudes of a sample of spinal cord injured outpatients toward a range of sexual behaviors were measured before and after participation in a counseling program. In comparison to the sexual attitudes of an untreated control group those of the sample group were found to be more permissive after than before the program. In addition, the counseling program, which operated in a workshop format over a period of 6 weeks, was favorably evaluated by participants on a number of criteria.
