Recovering From Rape
Recovering From Rape: Practical Advice on Overcoming the Trauma and Coping with Police, Hospitals, and the Courts - for the Survivors of Sexual Assault and their Families, Lovers and Friends | Linda E. Ledray
1 post
From clinical psychologist Linda E. Ledray, Recovering from Rape is a comprehensive handbook offering emotional support and practical guidance to survivors and their loved ones in coping and overcoming the trauma of rape. If you have been sexually assaulted, you are probably experiencing a mix of fear, anger, and depression. If you are a relative, friend, or lover of someone who has been assaulted, you too may be deeply affected by the incident and by the survivors reaction to it. However, working together, survivors and their loved ones can recover and may even be able to turn the recovery into an opportunity for positive change and growth. The experiences of survivors recounted throughout this book reassure readers that others have pulled through. Dr. Ledray helps survivors realize that no matter what they didwore a low-cut blouse, accepted a ride from a stranger, invited an acquaintance homethey did not deserve to be raped. She guides them from guilt or disbelief through bitterness and despair to the decision to take back control of their lives. In addition, this comprehensive handbook explains what to expect at the police station, at the hospital, and, if necessary, in court. It covers such health issues as incest, STD treatments, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and legal information on prosecution and bail, DNA testing, and rape law. An essential resource, Recovering from Rape helps readers learn the most effective ways of dealing with their feelings immediately following an assault, during the subsequent few months, and beyond.

This is perhaps the most important book I will ever read. If you have been raped or know a victim of sexual assault, this book is a must read. It not only helps you understand what has happened but also understand that whatever you‘re feeling is okay. Bringing you from the night of to the potential court case, each chapter has a section for the victim and for her friends and family. I cannot recommend this resource highly enough. #metoo

annahenke My own case is currently in progress, and this has been invaluable to me. The SARS program was key for me as well. Women need to know these resources exist. #informationispower 5y

scowler1 Wish this book wasn't necessary. I know so many people who've suffered some form of sexual violence or abuse. So sorry it happened, what you are doing takes extraordinary courage. You rock. 5y
