Daphne,

Well, that's the problem, we don't have any other categories, we can't even 
think of them.  It's as if the woman is always 9 years old--or 11, or 12, or 
13.  It's partly a dual thing--the reactions of other people keep the person 
at the place and time where the rape happened.  That's why when I am asked, 
What was your family like?  I don't know which way to go, what truths to tell.

What I am really saying is that I think the person who has been raped has to 
create a  NEW PERSONALITY where the rape is integrated.  The person has to 
become healthy through this CREATION.   

Thanks for your willingness to look at this problem.

Andrea
