TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - After-rape among three populations in the Southwest: a time of mourning, a time for recovery JO - Violence against women A1 - Bletzer, Keith V. A1 - Koss, Mary P. SP - 5 EP - 29 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - Narrative analysis of open-ended interviews with 62 female survivors of rape from three populations in the Southwest (Native American, Mexican American, Anglo) uncovered commonalities and dissimilarities in women's description of their experience of afterrape (rape survival). Although all three groups reported experiences that confirm aspects of prior analyses of reactions to rape, the narrative analysis highlights variations in reactions to rape across the three groups. These variations, and more established commonalities, provide baseline material for strengthening primary and secondary interventions for women who have experienced sexual violence.
