Chapters 12 through 15 cover the evaluation of the adolescent and adult victims of sexual assault. The next two chapters give special attention to DNA evidence, sexually transmitted disease prophylaxis, and pregnancy prophylaxis. Outstanding features are the chapters on dating violence, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, and special populations (pregnant women, older adults, and incarcerated women). Chapters 23 and 24 explain the psychosocial trauma associated with sexual assault and offer resources for social support.
The editors include valuable information for maintaining health professional efficacy and for preventing and treating burnout. Vicarious traumatization is well defined and explained so that all sexual assault service professionals are able to understand their own potential sources of trauma.
These two volumes are a comprehensive and up-to-date collection on sexual assault with chapters by leaders in the field. Much of the information is evidence-based. The references are extensive and cover the gamut of the field. The editors have successfully included most of the important topics although additional attention could have been given to cultural issues and to recovery.
Reading the volumes has dramatically strengthened my understanding of the role of other members of the SART. In addition, the two volumes of Sexual Assault are an excellent teaching resource. The style and format make digesting the material uncomplicated. The language is concise and the content informative. I think the editors of both volumes have achieved the goal of disseminating practical evidence-based information for anyone working in the field of sexual assault and sexual abuse. I highly recommend these volumes for all who care for victims of sexual assault.
This text is a testament to the skill of the many examiners who took these excellent photographs. Discerning readers should come away from viewing these images with a clearer sense of how to document and how to interpret anogenital findings in sexual assault victims of all ages. 2ff7e9595c
