- Abstract
The counseling group was responsible for addressing the topics: (1) the impact of MS on family functioning; and (2) the impact of MS on sexual functioning. The work group included three social workers and a clinical psychologist. A medical sociologist was the research consultant. All five members of the committee participated in all aspects of the project. In preparation for the June 1993 conference, “What Do We Know About MS?,” the work group used a series of conference calls to plan and complete literature reviews and clinical surveys on these two topics. During the June meeting, the group members used plenary sessions and small group discussions with peers from related fields to specify research questions for the two topics and proposed methodologies for each. It was agreed that the research proposals generated through this process would be of practical benefit to medical and rehabilitation specialists as well as mental health professionals. The proposed research questions are: (1) Are key aspects of a patient's adjustment to the first exacerbation following the diagnosis predictive of that patient's adjustment to the next exacerbation? (2) What is the relationship between sexual attitudes and adjustment to sexual dysfunction in MS?
