440 pages, 603 images, with 31 contributors

Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse: A Resource for Professionals Working with Children and Families features a completely pediatric focus as a part of the Sexual Assault line and adds an illustrative multimedia component. This text builds on the academic foundation of the original Sexual Assault by expanding the amount of pediatric-specific content and adding written and video “how-to” components. Including chapters with dedicated focuses on aspects such as basic anogenital anatomy, the medical approach to evaluating victims of abuse, sexually transmitted infections, and many more, this text examines both the technical and practical elements of working with abused, assaulted, or exploited children.
