Sexual Violence in Medicine and Psychiatry - Addressing Harms Through Interdisciplinarity

This book explores how medical and psychiatric knowledge, practitioners, and practices respond to sexual violence. It highlights how the medical and psychiatric fields often reproduce political and social dynamics of discrimination, othering, marginalisation, neglect, or surveillance, through their own sets of discourses and practices. Covering a wide range of geographical case studies including the UK, Australia, Kenya, and Argentina, this book is the first cohesive edited collection to unite interdisciplinary scholarship on this topic.Chapters 1, 10 and 11 are available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
