From the Editor of sexuality and disability: Special issue - A look at sexuality and medical concerns in Turkey

摘要

As we start a new year, we have the opportunity to learn about current issues regarding sexuality and medical conditions in Turkey. In 2010, the population of Turkey was estimated to be 73.7 million, with a relatively young population that includes 26.6 % within the 0-14 age range. The population growth from 1990 to 2008 has been reported to be 16 million or 29 %. The literature on sexuality has been increasing over the years in efforts to provide knowledge and awareness, guidance towards standards of care for assessment and intervention, as well as, the enhancement of clinical and educational programs already in place.
