Description

Could you sit in the same room as someone accused of murder? Determine competency of a 10-year-old child? Take a thorough history of sexually explicit crimes? This is Dr. Brenna Tindall’s life.

In this two part interview, Dr. Brenna Tindall talks with Dr. Jeremy Sharp about assessing and treating intimate partner violence and sexual violence.
