My sister, cousin, current partner and a previous partner are all survivors of rape. My current partner and I are reading this book together and working through the things it recommends. We have found it to be really valuable. It is a great place to start.
If you are a rape survivor or someone close to one, good luck and much love to you.

My girlfriend is a rape victim and I was looking for a book that could help me help her, understand her, without me going insane--it's very tough :(
I kind of liked the book (that's why 3 stars), but it lacks information that focuses on "friends, family and loved ones." Granted, each little topic has a small section for such people, but it's not enough.
If you're looking for an [I'm the partner of a rape victim and want to know what to do and how to react from a psychological, intimate, and love/affection point of view] book, then this one is clearly not what you're looking for.

As the partner of a rape survivor, I wanted to know the type of thoughts that would be going on inside my girlfriends head after the event, and be able to help her as best I could. The book gave sound advice, including the types of responses and emotions that my partner might go through, and the likely timescales of when those emotions could surface. It also discussed the different routes her recovery might take, and how the event may affect our own relationship. There was also practical advice on health issues which was very welcome. Aside from a view by the author which seemed to suggest that "all men are bastards" which I could live with but didnt welcome, I found this a very very useful book and would strongly recommend it to others in our situation.
