Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study explored the perceptions of members of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) when working with victims of commercial sexual exploitation.

METHOD: Sixteen members of a state-mandated MDT, representing various professions, were individually interviewed to gain their perspective on the functioning of the MDT, including challenges and strengths.

RESULTS: Members of the MDT held basically positive perceptions of the process and reported a sense of teamwork. They emphasized ways in which multiple disciplines are needed to best provide for these victims.

CONCLUSION: Results provide support for the role of MDTs in handling cases of commercial sexual exploitation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
