abstract="The author describes one specific facet of the psychological trauma attendant upon physical violence - the implications of the victim's forced silence about the event. This prohibition of communication, enforced by some implicit or explicit threat, constitutes a secondary trauma of enormous import and has been ignored in the literature. Exploration of this concept can sensitize therapists and point the way toward empathetic and effective intervention.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
