On this episode of Interpersonal, we meet with Dr. Emily Dworkin to discuss her recent publication, The impact of sociocultural contexts on mental health following sexual violence: A conceptual model (currently in press). Dr. Dworkin discusses a model for understanding recovery following sexual assault which takes responsibility for recovery off of survivors and shifts it toward larger systems, cultural norms, and responsiveness of close social supports, emphasizing the importance of context on recovery. Dr. Dworkin is a clinical psychologist and Acting Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
