Callender, T., & Dartnall, L. (2010). Briefing paper: Mental health responses for victims of sexual violence and rape in resource-poor settings. Pretoria: SVRI.
Abstract
Rape, given its specific definition within the broader context of sexual violence, has been the subject of the majority of the relevant literature. As a result, this briefing paper will focus predominantly on rape. To date, most of the evaluation of interventions targeting the mental health consequences of rape has taken place in the developed world. The extent to which these findings remain valid in other settings remains unknown.
