1 sexual abuse. So to the extent that more of my patients are
2 women than men, certainly that's a vulnerability.
3 But also, because, especially now, I'm working with
4 adults, I'm working with people who have been repeatedly
5 victimized at various points in time in their lives. And you
6 can really clearly see the pattern, and it's something I often
7 have to address with patients because they inquire about it,
8 they don't understand. You know, why is it that this has
9 happened to me so many times. And, again, we know from the
10 revictimization literature that when someone is abused, they
11 are at higher risk of being abused at later points in time.
12 Also, you know, sometimes the clinical literature
13 individuals will talk about the specific issues in their family
14 that perhaps increase their vulnerability: They were always
15 alone. They, you know, their mom was sick and this person had
16 lots of opportunity to kind of befriend the family and, you
17 know, therefore had greater access as a result of that
18 vulnerability, or perhaps they were desperate for attention,
19 care, love, and concern from another person because those are
20 common childhood needs and maybe they weren't getting that at
21 home.
22 So those are all the kinds of things that would come
23 up in, and have come up in, my over 30 years of treating
24 patients.
25 Q. In your forensic practice, do you examine the impact of
2 women than men, certainly that's a vulnerability.
