I also think that rape victims should be protect with VPOs, and not restraining orders. There IS a difference.
I think that rape trauma counseling should be a certified specialty, and not simply an aspect of generalist practice that any clinician can attempt to treat.
I think evidence-based practice with best results for treatment of rape trauma substantiates a holistic approach that should be accepted as a preferred form of treatment, in which a more life-encompassing collaboration is practiced, as opposed to a simplistic hour-per-week office-based talking approach. Eating disorders are commonly treated within a therapist-client relationship that is very diverse and comprehensive, and not bare-minimum "one hour appointment"-type therapy, and I think sexual assault simply requires this type of comprehensive collaboration just as much. Clearly, we're not even close to accepting this premise in therapy yet.
AGREED, Matt. (agreed?...matt? same sentence? haha! jk)
