Sexuality and Intimacy between Couples Facing Terminal Illness
Megan Johnson
William & Mary Educational Review, v4 n1 Article 3 p7-9 2015
Couples therapy is a growing field with much attention given to diverse populations. Additionally, sexuality and intimacy between couples are highly researched areas. However, according to Tie and Poulsen (2013), little research has been dedicated to those couples affected by end-of-life issues, as sex and death are two of the most avoided topics in modern society. Given the importance of sexuality and intimacy within the context of a romantic partnership and the severe interpersonal and intrapersonal disturbances caused by a terminal illness, it is imperative that issues surrounding sexuality and intimacy at end-of-life stages are openly addressed with patients.
