This newly updated edition of the top-selling reference manual for the medical evaluation of suspected child sexual abuse has been expanded to reflect the increasing importance of properly performed, well-documented examinations.

  • Expanded and updated coverage of sexually transmitted diseases, diagnostic problems, and documenting examinations
  • Vastly expanded collection of illustrative photographs (including 83 in color) and line drawings
