Please take some time this weekend to watch/listen to this presentation from Dr Rebecca Campbell, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, on the neurobiology of sexual assault. It will reveal why (physiologically) some of our victims seem so calm, or unable to put all the pieces of the assault together, or give a consistent time frame for the assault. Listen all the way to the end for a powerful statement from a survivor. This is CRITICAL information that we must understand well enough to explain to our patients and our law enforcement partners. As the health care providers, we have a unique opportunity and authority to use this information to improve the system of sexual violence response in our community. It is our role, and it is essential.
