This is the first clinical guide to assessing and treating victims of sex trafficking, encompassing best practices and strategies for overcoming the severe barriers that this group presents. These barriers most notably include separating victims from their pimps\/handlers who exert tight control over their lives, speech, and interactions with healthcare providers. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book are consistently organized chapters addressing the major injuries, diseases and psychological traumas for which trafficked victims are likely to seek treatment. These chapters include a description of each condition, culturally based best practices for treatment, special considerations for male, female, and child victims, and expected outcomes. Citing the specialized circumstances of this population, the book discusses how to adapt current treatments to the special needs of these young victims. Additional features include case studies, short bullet points, and easy-to-follow recommendations. The book also discusses human trafficking as a global issue with particular attention to the United States. The guide describes the countrywide resources available for practitioners to learn about sex trafficking in the United States, focusing on Georgia as the only state to offer a comprehensive approach to sex trafficking and a model for the rest of the country. It also addresses health policy implications for practitioners and how to harness the support of law enforcement entities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides best practices to date in a concise reference-style guide to medical and psychological assessment and treatment of sex trafficking victims \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies and easy-to-follow practice recommendations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes strategies on overcoming handlers' control over their victims \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides phone numbers and contact information by state or region regarding how to safely involve law enforcement \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary de Chesnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826171153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ede Chesnay, Mary:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMary de Chesnay, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, FAAN, \u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor at, and former Director of, Kennesaw State University, School of Nursing, GA.
