ABSTRACT

Despite prevention efforts, young women, particularly college students, experience sexual victimization at alarming rates, and do not always receive trauma-responsive treatment to address the devastating acute and long-lasting post-assault symptoms. Grounded in theory and research on trauma and sexual violence, the authors introduce a new conceptual framework and corresponding therapeutic and psychoeducational resource – The Ripple Effect of Sexual Violence Wheels – that synthesize these common post-assault consequences and offer strategies that promote recovery and healing for victims and survivors. Instructions for how to use these tools in clinical and advocacy positions at universities and other applied settings, as well as how to use the wheels as self-guided resources are described. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

摘要

尽管采取了预防措施，但年轻女性，尤其是大学生，以惊人的速度遭受性侵害，并且并不总是接受创伤反应治疗来解决破坏性的急性和长期性攻击后症状。作者以创伤和性暴力的理论和研究为基础，介绍了一个新的概念框架和相应的治疗和心理教育资源——性暴力轮子的涟漪效应——综合这些常见的袭击后后果，并提供促进受害者和幸存者康复和康复的策略。介绍了如何在大学和其他应用环境中的临床和宣传职位中使用这些工具，以及如何将轮子用作自导资源。讨论了限制和未来的方向。
