"In Sexualized Violence against Women and Children, Cling has
brought together an 'A-list' of scholars and practitioners to offer
fresh insights into a social problem of enduring significance.
Mental health professionals, lawyers, and advocates will all find
much of value in these well-crafted chapters."--John Monahan, PhD,
University of Virginia School of Law
"This volume is a welcome update in a field growing by leaps and
bounds. The authors provide the latest psychological theories
together with legal imperatives to help clinicians and lawyers in
the courtroom. Everyone involved in treating clients who have been
physically or sexually abused, or in working with them when
litigation occurs, should have a copy of this book on their desk.
You'll find what you need in these pages."--Lenore Walker, EdD,
Forensic Psychology Concentration, Nova Southeastern University
"An excellent reference joining theoretical constructs within
psychology and law on topics related to sexual harassment, battered
women, and maternal violence, to name a few. Whether or not one
subscribes to the various theoretical perspectives described, this
book brings together a group of papers with supporting literature
and helpful pointers that are wholly relevant and useful in a
variety of clinical and legal contexts."--Debra A. Pinals, MD,
Department of Psychiatry, University of Massachusetts Medical
School
"Outstanding. Social workers will find the legal content on
sexualized violence current, accessible, and comprehensive. The
editor and contributors successfully integrate clinical and legal
perspectives on significant topics, including rape, sexual abuse,
and sexual harassment. This knowledge base enables clinicians to
work more effectively with clients experiencing sexualized
violence, to prepare for involvement in cases as a witness or
expert, and to advocate for reforms to the law. Should be required
reading for all social workers working with clients who have
experienced sexual violence."--Robert G. Madden, LCSW, JD, Social
Work Program, St. Joseph College
