GS Greenspan and SE Samuel
Department of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
The authors present three cases of women who began to cut themselves
superficially after they had been raped. To the authors' knowledge, no such
findings have been reported in the current literature on short- and
long-term effects of rape.
