| Abstract: | In the light of widely perceived increasing sexual dysfunction amongst adolescents, the study examines, by means of a questionnaire and interviews, the experience of SO mothers. It was found that there was a correlation between their own experience of learning about sexual matters from their parents and the guidance they gave their own children. It was suggested that this situation would be repeated for the next generation. It was concluded that when sexual dysfunction occurs, the therapist would need to take into account the contribution the attitudinal environment created in the home makes towards parental provision of sex education. |
