Ženy s mentálním postižením v roli matek
Monografie seznamuje čtenáře s tím, jakým způsobem prožívají ženy s mentálním postižením mateřství, a s faktory, které toto prožívání ovlivňují. V první části knihy jsou prezentovány současné vědecké poznatky o prožívání těhotenství a porodu ženami s mentálním postižením i o jejich zkušenostech se zdravotní péčí. Autorky také analyzují současné pohledy na vytváření vlastní mateřské identity a představují úspěšné zahraniční programy a metody práce používané při podpoře žen s mentálním postižením v jejich mateřské roli. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována právním úpravám, které se dotýkají rodičovství osob s mentálním postižením. Druhá část monografie vychází z výzkumu, do něhož bylo zapojeno 19 žen s mentálním postižením a 504 odborníků z oblasti zdravotní péče a sociální práce v České republice. Pro hlubší vhled a dokreslení problematiky zprostředkovává monografie také konkrétní zkušenost paní Evy zpracovanou do obsáhlé případové studie, která čtenáře seznamuje i s praktickými ukázkami postupů, pomůcek a metod práce, které byly použity při podpoře její rodičovské role.
Tato kniha je nezbytným průvodcem sociálních pracovníků, speciálních pedagogů, pracovníků neziskového sektoru, psychologů a všech, kteří chtějí přispět ke zkvalitnění podpory matek s mentálním postižením. Monografie je určena také pro vysokoškolské pedagogy a studenty středních a vysokých škol, podnětná však může být i pro širší veřejnost.

Women with intellectual disabilities: A study of sexuality, sexual abuse and protection skills
Sexual abuse and abusive relationships are known to be especially common in people with intellectual disability. This study explored how women with intellectual disability understand sex, relationships and sexual abuse, the effects of sexual abuse on their lives, and how successfully they protect themselves from abuse. Semistructured narrative interviews with nine women with mild intellectual disability in Queensland, Australia. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, coded and analysed qualitatively. Major themes that emerged were: sexual knowledge and sources of knowledge; negotiating sexual relationships; declining unwanted sexual contact; self protection strategies; sexual abuse experiences; and sequelae of sexual abuse. Most participants reported unwanted or abusive sexual experiences. They described sequelae such as difficulties with sex and relationships, and anxiety and depression. They described themselves as having inadequate self protection skills and difficulty reporting abuse and obtaining appropriate support. Their understanding of sex was limited and they lacked the literacy and other skills to seek information independently. It is important for general practitioners to be aware of the possibility of sexual abuse against women with intellectual disability, and to offer appropriate interventions.
