Therapeutic JurisprudenceReviewsQ: When do we not even want to THINK about sex? A: When institutionalized persons with mental disabilites are involved! The complete lack of attention has led to diametrically opposed views, ranging from they have no interest and will be exploited to they are uncontrollable predators who will put many at risk. Now, finally, a full-volume full-discussion by Michael Perlin and Alison Lynch in a beautifully written and analyzed book brings therapeutic jurisprudence to the rescue, arguing for carefully constructed policies based on the 3 Vs of voice, validation, and voluntary participation. It is a wonderful book that will bring this issue to center stage in disability law circles. - David B.
