Abstract:
Rape is a violent act that inflicts injury on the very essence of the self. Reality therapy offers an applicable conceptual framework for the treatment of rape victims. Reality therapy groups minimize attention to the concept of mental illness. The warm, friendly atmosphere of the reality therapy group provides a supportive arena where the victim can tell her story, diminish her desire to withdraw from others, and recognize control over her behavior. Through her involvement she can begin to fulfill her needs to love and be loved, and feel worthwhile to herself and others.
