From the Foreword
The ABC’s of Sexual Assault is a great resource for everyone who is involved in the assessment, treatment, and support of victims of sexual assault. Medical and non-medical professionals who care for and interact with the legal system for child, adolescent and adult survivors will greatly benefit from the knowledge they attain after reading this excellent book.
*** One of the things that my colleagues and I do most often when teaching others about the sexual abuse examination is to dispel the many myths about the child’s body and how it reacts to sexual molestation and rape. This book will be a great tool for all the members of the multidisciplinary team that work with victims of assault and their families to explain and challenge those myths.
