Reseña del editor

Most of the resources of rape-crisis centers and counseling facilities are directed toward providing immediate help to the victim. But others closer to her often have the greatest impact on her recovery – positively or negatively – depending on what they say and how they act. Because of the violent and sexual nature of rape, the husbands, fathers, brothers, partners and friends who are important to victims may have a difficult time knowing how to deal with what has happened. The same can be true for mothers, sisters, and female friends. Most are well-intentioned but do not know what to do. Although most men want to help, many are ill-prepared to respond constructively. Perhaps they have never thought about how rape could affect their relationship with the person they love. To make matters worse, myths about rape compound the difficulties of recovery for victims. If your wife, daughter, sister, partner or friend is raped, this book will give you practical ways to help her recover. You will learn what happens to her in the aftermath of an assault. You will learn what you should and should not do. It will give you the tools necessary to maintain a healthy relationship with the person you love.
