摘要：
Sexual quality of life after cancer is an integral component of well-being for many survivors. However, the experience of cancer presents significant challenges to sexual health and well-being, often requiring survivors to negotiate the many physical, psychological, social/relational, and cultural factors that impact psychosexual functioning. By embracing a sex-positive approach to conceptualization, assessment, and treatment, psychologists can better serve the unique psychosexual needs of survivors and assist in enhancing sexual and intimate expression that promotes adaptation and flexibility. This article will (a) present a positive conceptualization of sexual health and well-being for cancer survivors and (b) discuss culturally competent treatment strategies to promote the sexual health and well-being of cancer survivors.
