A CAPD patient group on sexuality--a critical view.

Abstract

This article describes the experience with a social work group on sexuality and analyzes the results critically. Patient groups have been widely described in the social work literature. For ESRD patients the group approach has been found to be particularly useful and the patient's ability to help each other with the many problems in dealing with psychological, social and economic life changes has been valued. The issue of sexuality in ESRD patients has also been frequently discussed although no references have been made to groups on sexuality.
