TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Depressive symptoms in rape victims JO - Journal of affective disorders A1 - Frank, Elmar A1 - Turner, S. M. A1 - Duffy, B. SP - 269 EP - 277 VL - 1 IS - 4 N2 - Thirty-four recent rape victims were assessed for depressive symptomatology using a well-validated self-report instrument in combination with formal psychiatric evaluation. Fifteen subjects were found to be moderately or severely depressed when measured on the self-report questionnaire. A closer examination of these 15 subjects revealed that 8 were suffering from a major depressive disorder. The authors emphasize that all clinicians working with rape victims should be alert to the emergence of depression in this population.
