Abstract

This paper is an overview of aspects of the victim-to-patient process which reflects the interrelationship between mental health and mental disorder, particularly of women who suffer the sexual assault, sexual abuse, or wife assault. Knowledge of the psychological processes and symptoms aids diagnosis, modifies treatment and the process of recovery following acts of violence.
