Outlook

Recovery from a rape typically includes the acute phase (immediate period of physical pain and wound healing, emotional reactions and coping mechanisms put into action) and the reorganization phase (occurring about one week after the rape and lasting months to years, as the victim attempts to restructure and "get on with life").

Group psychotherapy with other rape survivors as been show to be the most effective treatment.
