Customer Reviews

Wow!

That was my wife's initial reaction to this book. It was recommended by SANE-A and SANE-P instructors. A great learning tool.

Sexual Assault

This is a wonderful book for individuals who are examining patients who have been sexually assaulted. Shows normal anatomy and variations, including non-sexual injuries. As a Nurse Practitioner and a new Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner I find this book to be an excellent reference. It had been recommended to me by the educational coordinator of the SANE course I took.

Color Atlas of Sexual Assault

An excellent resource book for anyone working as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. I recommend this book to all nurses new to forensic nursing. A must have book!Linda Sifuentes, RN CA-SANEAustin Travis County Sexual Assault Nurse ExaminerAustin, Texasprocardia1@aol.com

Very good pictures

This book is very complete, and has many pictures describing a variety of situations. Highly recommended.You should also consider "Sexual Assault: The Medical-Legal Examination". This book has more information on the psychology of the assailant and the assailed, and on filling out legal forms during examination, but "Color Atlas" has more pictures.

An essential resource book

My forensic nurse colleagues have provided an outstanding resource for those of us who perform sexual assault exams and forensic evidence collection. The photographic documentation of cases and information in the Color Atlas have proved invaluable to me as a sexual assault nurse examiner. Our district attorney also purchased the book as a reference. I applaud the five authors of this text for a job well done. They have produced a professional work, accurately and well written,with outstanding photodocumentation of sexual assault cases.
