Clinical Picture of Abuse and Violence ( 8 Questions)
A suggests blaming the victim by implying that they should have been more cautious, which is not a therapeutic response. Victims of sexual assault should not be made to feel responsible for the actions of the perpetrator.
B advises the victim to move forward and not dwell on the past, which might minimize the emotional impact of the assault. While moving forward is important, it is equally important to acknowledge the victim's feelings and provide support.
C is the correct therapeutic response. It reassures the victim that the assault was not their fault and emphasizes that nobody deserves to be assaulted. This response promotes healing, self-worth, and reduces feelings of self-blame.
