Blurb

This new edition aims to examine the impacts of maltreatment of both children and social minorities, such as homosexuals and gender dysphoric individuals or those affected by disabilities, in women, in patients, and describes skills that are of value in supporting victims of maltreatment and preventing discrimination. On this purpose, the new book is not only an update of the current literature on the topic, but will be also enriched by chapters dealing with the subtle border between courtship and harassment, with the responsibilities of the health professionals, with the role of internet and pornography in the “economy” of abuses and sexual slavery, with forensic aspects of the abuses and with therapy of both suffered and operated sexual violence starting from prevention as social education until medical approaches.   

This new edition will be particularly useful to sexual medicine specialists, medical doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as graduate students in these disciplines, but also to sociologists, educators and law professionals. By fostering a better understanding of discrimination triggers and effects, this new edition will help clinicians and mentors to provide improved support through the tailoring of therapies to the needs of maltreated and abused individuals.
