Reviews

This book is an important primer for social workers. Compelling. * Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare * This book is a much needed resource for understanding sex trafficking in its widest meaning, including the various definitions, experiences, perspectives, and populations of sex trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, and sex trade. Social Work Practice with Survivors of Sex Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation gives a voice to researchers, practitioners, activists, and survivors. -- Hasmik Chakaryan, Webster University An invaluable 'how to' guide on working with sex trafficking survivors that illuminates the shades of gray within the commercial sex industry. Filled with rich scholarship, this seminal work empowers social service providers to tackle the complexities of sexual exploitation at the practice, program, and policy level. Well done! -- Julie Orme, Howard University This book makes what appears to me to be an important and significant contribution to our knowledge of what services are needed and how they should be provided. The writing is clear, compelling, and easy to follow. -- Dean Duncan III, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Nichols's, Edmond's, and Heil's comprehensive text successfully navigates the complex politics of sexual exploitation and gives voice to a diverse array of survivors. The inclusion of individual, program-level, and preventive interventions makes this an essential primer for social workers. -- Andrea Cimino, Johns Hopkins University


This book maskes what appears to me to be an important and significant contribution to our knowledge of what services are needed and how they should be provided. The writing is clear, compelling, and easy to follow.--Dean Duncan II, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
