| Abstract | "This book provides an in-depth exploration of the complex nature of sexual violence. The volume challenges conventional sexual stereotypes and examines the theoretical foundations of intimate partner violence. It investigates how gender dynamics influence the perpetration and perception of sexual violence, addressing issues such as sexism, rape myths, and societal attitudes towards sex offenders. The book explores the origins of intimate partner violence, highlighting the impact of witnessing domestic violence as a common risk factor for both victims and perpetrators. The text covers often overlooked topics, including female sex offenders and the nuances of sexual abuse within dysfunctional relationships. It addresses modern challenges like online sexual abuse and grooming, providing insights into the evolving landscape of sexual offending. Emphasis is placed on the roles of victims and witnesses, underscoring the importance of competency and thorough investigative interviews. Special attention is given to the psychological assessment of presumed sexual abuse in minors, stressing the need for forensic tests for credibility assessment. The book tackles the prevention of child sexual abuse and childhood exposure to domestic violence, exploring the psychological impact of trauma on individuals' communication skills and behavior. It reviews the disclosure process for male sexual assault victims and examines the factors influencing their decision to come forward. Treatment and recovery are central themes, with chapters on psychological treatments for child and adolescent sexual abuse, the recovery process in adolescence, and the psychoanalytic perspective on violence victims. The book also discusses the probation path for young offenders and introduces the INSIGHT program, aimed at reducing sexual violence through cognitive change and well-being. Overall, this comprehensive analysis offers a rich blend of research, theoretical perspectives, and practical interventions, providing invaluable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policy-makers dedicated to understanding and addressing sexual violence"-- Provided by publisher. |
