Adaptive strategies and recovery from rape
AW Burgess and LL Holmstrom
The authors conducted a follow-up study of 81 rape victims to analyze the
effect of adaptive or maladaptive response to rape on recovery over a 4-6
year period. They found that victims recovering fastest used more adaptive
strategies, including positive self-assessment; defense mechanisms of
explanation, minimization, suppression, and dramatization; and increased
action. Victims who had not yet recovered had more maladaptive mechanisms,
such as negative self-assessments, inaction, substance abuse, and action on
suicidal thoughts.
