the same It is critical for an IME examiner to be able to make a cogent assessment of any plaintiff and to understand their medical social academic psychological and psychiatric condition/state prior to any act of alleged victimization There are a number of variables that combine to determine the effects of such alleged victimization including the type and character of the alleged assault and key victim variables such as demographics psychological reactions at the time of the trauma previous psychiatric or psychological history history of previous victimization current or previous psychological difficulties general personality dynamics and coping style sociocultural factors such as drug use/abuse poverty socialinequity and/or inadequate social support any previous history of abuse within or outside the family whether individuals were abused by strangers Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Aug Richard Hall MD acquaintances or family members and whether there was any history of indiscriminate behavior that may have placed them at increased risk It is important to know if there had been previous sexual conduct contact with police or welfare agencies alcohol or drug use/abuse voluntary sexual activity contraceptive use genital infections or apparent indifference to previous abuse It is also essential to understand the plaintiffs level of emotional support whether any significant psychiatric illnesses were present whether they were taking any medications prescribed or non-prescribed whether there had been previous suicide attempts thoughts plans etc Knowledge of plaintiffs relationships to her family and familial factors including social disadvantage family instability impaired parent/child relationship and parental adjustment difficulties is also critical It is therefore crucial that the independent medical examiner has available to him a full and complete record that includes medical previous legal social criminal academic psychological
