Abstract
The study explores the perspectives of Mental Health Care Professionals on the importance of Sexual Health promotion of severe mentally ill people in Mental Health Care. A qualitative approach was used. Eight semi-structured Problem Centred Interviews were conducted in August 2012 in two residential facilities in Berlin. Participants are aware of the importance of Sexual Health in the psychosocial rehabilitation process. However, they believe Sexual Health Promotion is yet to be acknowledged as a legitimate Mental Health care issue. Sexual Health Promotion is poorly integrated in Mental Health Care practice. However, sexuality contributes strongly to the health and quality of life of users. Adequate guidelines on Sexual Health Promotion are not available and are urgently needed.
