Resilience in Women's Sexual Pain After Female Genital Cutting: Adaptation Across Time and Personal and Cultural Context.

The authors discuss the target article by J. Connor and colleagues which described a continuum of adaptation responses to female genital cutting (FGC). Topics include reason that the implications of FGC and resulting sexual pain are a highly complex, suggested key factor underlying a broader construct of psychologically flexibility, and key barrier in assessment and treatment of the effects of FGC.
