Synopsis:
Sexual assault is not only a crime of violence; it is also a personal tragedy for victims and families with consequences that can last for years or even a lifetime. The care of victims has improved steadily over the last 40 years and has grown to involve sexual assault forensic examiners, particularly nurse examiners (SANEs), and sexual assault response teams (SARTs). Authored by two pioneering SANEs and a physician specializing in intimate partner and domestic violence, Medical Response to Adult Sexual Assault contributes to greater understanding of the complex issues involved in caring for sexual assault victims and better interdisciplinary collaboration on sexual assault case investigation, prosecution, and resolution. This book focuses on the medical response to adult victims and includes detailed chapters on genital anatomy, examination components and documentation, and evidence collection. It also addresses mental health issues and multidisciplinary team concerns. The DVD companion contains a how-to mock demonstration of an adult sexual assault examination. Together, the book and supplementary DVD are an invaluable resource to anyone involved directly or indirectly with adult sexual assault victims or response teams.
