This set of anatomical drawings is intended to aid in interviewing child victims of sexual abuse.
Abstract
Thirty-two line drawings portray front and back anatomical views of white and black males and females at four chronological phases of development -- preschool, preadolescence, adolescence, and adulthood. They can be used in interviews with children to clarify their responses and document their sexual victimizations. The drawings can also be used to determine whether children have been exposed to pornography or manipulated into posing for sexual photographs. They can be used as an intermediate step in introducing the child to anatomically correct dolls. Notes are provided about the author and the illustrator. A list of five recommended readings is included.
