This article discusses crisis intervention with women who have been sexually assaulted, and provides information for counsellors working with victims on how to intervene effectively. The author debunks common myths of rape and suggests that understanding rape and the pervasive effects on the victim are important components to working with rape survivors. An important role of the therapist is also to help the victim make meaning out of the sexual assault.
