Dr. Jessica Taylor is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a PhD holder, and the Director of VictimFocus. Dr. Taylor is also recognized as a Sunday Times Bestselling Author of “Why Women Are Blamed for Everything” and “Sexy But Psycho”.

Breaking new ground, Dr. Jessica Taylor collaborated with Jaimi Shrive, a Doctoral Researcher focused on Politics, to create the groundbreaking Indicative Trauma Impact Manual (ITIM), the world’s first trauma-informed manual of its kind and the first comprehensive alternative to diagnostic manuals. It encourages understanding, empathy, and validation instead of relying on labels and constrained 'treatment' choices, which are the prevailing customary approach.
