Articles of Note: October/November 2011

It’s time once again for Articles Note. These are a selection from the late September, October and November peer-reviewed journals that feel particularly relevant to our practice. Remember, it’s in no way a comprehensive or exhaustive list, but it’s an excellent place to start. The majority of the links will take you to PubMed. There is also one free full-text article in here. Lots of sexual assault and elder abuse research this month.

Here’s the printable version. The active links follow below.
