When the subject is rape : a guide for male partners, friends & family members / by McEvoy, Alan W.,author.(CARDINAL)516424;
Includes index.Introduction -- Understanding rape-induced trauma -- The immediate consequences of rape -- Communicating with the victim and others -- Understanding the long-term effects of rape -- The impact of rape on sexual intimacy -- Parental concerns during the recovery process -- Non-stranger sexual assault -- Working with law enforcement -- Rape as a hate crime -- Post-traumatic growth -- Conclusion -- Resources."Rape is, unfortunately, an all-too-common violent crime usually perpetrated against women. For victims, the process of sharing information about the assault with loved ones or reporting the crime to police can be harrowing, embarrassing, and painful. The emotional aftermath and the responses of others can greatly affect the way a rape survivor copes. Although there are trained counselors to help women through the process of recovery, the question remains: What role should the men in their lives play? Often the men who are closest to rape survivors--intimate partners, friends, and family members--are simply unprepared to offer the right assistance. The wrong word or action may trigger an unexpected response. The book When The Subject Is Rape, written by Dr. Alan McEvoy, is designed specifically for men to help them identify, understand, and respond appropriately in their role as allies in a woman's recovery from rape."--

Jane thought her life a little more than a tragedy until she ran into Scott, the awful man who had assaulted her. Scott guessed the child was his and vowed to take her to court for custody. Japheth, a young man Jane is fond of, finds Jane a good lawyer, but she had other ideas how to settle things. When Scott is found dead, Jane becomes suspect number one. What will Jane do when she discovers Scott's wealthy parents are now seeking custody, and the police have evidence against her in Scott's murder case? With her life falling apart, will Japheth stand by her side, or will his head be turned by the young, single and uncomplicated Amish women vying for his attention?"--Page [4] of cover.
