Abstract: | Little attention has been directed toward inappropriate social and sexual approaches by patients with dementia diagnoses and
organic disorders of the brain. A female student who approached patients who had dementia and organic brain disorders was
frequently approached and touched in a sexual manner that was distressing to her and led her to believe that she was behaving
in a manner that elicited these responses. It is recommended that students and volunteers be prepared for experience in settings
with patients with these diagnoses through individual or group discussion, training and role playing as a way of enhancing
their experiences and avoiding unnecessary feelings of guilt and embarrassment. |
