The rape trauma and its role in the post-trauma disorder for the adolescent female victim

Abstract

We shall try in this paper to reveal the level of the post-trauma disorder for the adolescent female victim of rape (Incest) and the effect of the traumatic event on the case through the various manifestations of the trauma. We used the clinical method through taking a female adolescent who has been a victim of rape as a case study. Furthermore, we used the semi-structured clinical interview with the application of Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS). Findings of the study show that the rape the victim had been subject to made her live a sharp psychological trauma and a narcissistic wound that made her lose self-confidence and in the others. Furthermore, she suffers loneliness, inferiority complex, and the loss of the feeling of love due to the traumatic event. Moreover, the victim clearly avoids all the milestones of the event through escaping all what reminds her of the traumatic event
