A welcome addition to the plethora of books providing insight into the effects of sexual abuse on women, this volume examines the relationship between sexual experiences and psychosexual functioniong through the lifespan. Using structural equation modeling, the authors aim to provide a comprehensive synthesis of sexual functioning in women. The research emphasis is most welcome in a field notoriously lacking in theoretical constructs: the use of structural equation models does not always simplify this complex topic, but will no doubt prove to be a useful development to the study of outcome variables following sexual abuse. There are considerable methodological advancements provided by Gail Wyatt and her colleagues' approach to interviewing women about their sexual experiences, both abusive and consensual. Most notably, guidelines and strategies are offered which are helpful when considering the design of such research, and also for clinical practice with adult women survivors of sexual abuse. The focus on AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases and their links to sexual abuse are also useful additions to previous work done in the survivor" field. I would recommend this book, with one caveat: the structural equation models are not for the faint hearted."
