From child sexual abuse to adult sexual risk

"In this volume, leading researchers and clinicians integrate research from a variety of disciplines - including epidemiology, traumatology, and prevention science - to bridge the current scientific literatures on CSA, basic trauma research, and clinical practice. Chapters identify the theory and research-based cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral consequences of trauma that influence sexual risk behavior in adulthood. The volume also highlights new approaches that begin to translate these findings into interventions for people who have experienced CSA. This comprehensive resource delineates an original program of research that will help set a new course for study and treatment in the field."—Jacket.
