The Big Idea- Psychology of Rape Victims

I think that discussing the psychology of a rape victim would be a good topic. Although the author does an ok job at explaining her emotions through out the book, I think further knowledge of the victim's psychological state after a traumatic event like that is important. These two sources are from trusted organizations: Yale- New Haven Teacher's Institute and the National Institutes of Health. The written information is from Y-NH Teacher's Institute, which discusses many different aspects of rape, from the psychology of rapists to victims...
The video source, though on YouTube is from the National Institutes of Health, and discusses the impact of rape, from the victim's standpoint. It also has interviews with doctors and nurses who talk about the examinations taken after the rape.
