ABSTRACT

Over the past 10 years, the availability of literature on sexual assault has increased significantly. Due primarily to feminist-movement writers speaking out on rape (Brownmiller, 1975; Clark & Lewis, 1977) and incest (Armstrong, 1978; Brady, 1979), clinical studies suggesting interventions have been initiated (Burgess, Groth, Holmstrom, & Sgroi, 1978; Herman & Hirshman, 1982; Sgroi, 1981).
