Sexual Behavior in Dementia

Iowa Geriatric Education Center GeriaCast

Dr. Mulhausen will discuss: the changes in sexual behavior experienced by people with dementia and contrast them with those experienced in normal aging; appropriate clinical assessment and support to offer when patients with dementia or their partners present with concerns about sexual behavior change; challenges encountered in the support of intimate relationships in long-term care settings and identify resources to help develop effective policies to guide management of intimate relationships; and appropriate assessment and management plans when inappropriate sexual behavior presents as a BPSD.
