Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary With expertise and sensitivity, the author of this accessibly written volume addresses a real but long-neglected problem: the pain and humiliation of sexual assault suffered by many women at the hands of their partners. Extensive gathering of personal testimony from survivors, together with interviews with service providers, bears witness to a lack of validation and insufficient assistance currently available for such women. This volume gives hope to survivors and provides critical information for service providers to gain a better understanding of the seriousness of the problem.
Contents An introduction to the problem of wife rape -- Understanding women's experiences of wife rape -- Defining and ending the violence -- The response of two agencies to wife rape -- Providing services to wife rape survivors -- Current trends and future directions.
