Abstract:
The article refers to the necessity of preparing the young generation for partnership relations, married life and family life. It presents the results of an investigation into the sexual-psychological and sexual-pedagogical problems of the seriously mental retarded. The results were obtained by questioning imbeciles, their parents and teachers. Sexuality and sexual behaviour are present in this group of handicapped. The analysis revealed that sexual knowledge and ideas are insufficient. This underlines the necessity of improving sexual-pedagogical instruction. A programme for this purpose has been drafted and is presented.
