Abstract

Rape and child sexual abuse are common in our society, and the incidence is increasing. A variety of presenting complaints in adults may be signals of unresolved, remote sexual trauma. These include memory problems, confusion, impulsive or self-injurious behavior, unexplained somatic complaints and many others. Family physicians attentive to such signals can assist in relieving the toxic secret.
