Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hello all,

Palmer, Sally E.; Brown, Ralph A.; Rae-Grant, Naomi I.; Loughlin, M.
Joanne Responding to Children's Disclosure of Familial Abuse: What
Survivors Tell Us. Child Welfare, v78 n2 p259-82 Mar-Apr 1999

Also in the book *Researching Sexual Violence Against Women* edited by
Martin Schwartz (Sage 1997) Chapter 5 p. 65 "Self blame in hidden rape
cases" by Victoria Pitts and Martin Schwartz talks about this. This one
is interesting because it found a 100% correlation between women who
disclosed and were told that it wasn't her fault and calling it rape and
disclosing and being told everything else and NOT calling it rape.

Subject: effect of first disclosure on healing

Hello all -

Most of us know that the response a survivor receives by the person
they first disclose sexual abuse to is vital in the path to their future
healing.  In fact, I know there have been various studies that conclude
this.  I am wondering if anyone out there has a source to any study like
this, particularly regarding the response of a trained counselor.  

I am training a group of counseling graduate students and the
counseling center staff on campus on how to work with survivors and I
would like to bring an article that addresses how important their
response is (beyond the obvious).

Thank you so much and sorry for cross-postings.

Juliette

"It's so liberating and important for men to understand that they can
actually be friendly to women instead of playing some gender-specific
role, and that women are in most ways the same as they are. I think that
lots of women already know that, but not so many guys do."  -my dad
