“…En ce qui concerne la violence faite aux femmes, Burgess et al (1979), de même que Ruch et al (1983), ont trouvé qu'un viol antérieur compliquait le processus de guérison psychologique suite à un viol. Burgess et al (1978) ont aussi trouvé que les femmes ayant subi des voies de fait mettaient plus longtemps à récupérer des suites d'un viol que celles qui n'avaient pas été exposées à cet événement.…”

RÉSUMÉ Deux grandes hypothèses opposées ont été formulées quant à l'impact d'un événement traumatique sur l'adversité future: l'inoculation et la vulnérabilité croissante. Un examen des travaux supportant ces hypothèses indique qu'elles ne sont pas aussi antagonistes qu'elles en ont l'air. Il apparaît possible de les intégrer en une théorie unique dans la mesure où les circonstances favorisant l'une ou l'autre

Sexual offences account for just under 1% of all notifiable offences and have been increasing over the past decade (Home Office, 1993). However, the official statistics on rape prevalence grossly underestimate the extent of the problem; many cases of non-consensual intercourse are not reported or prosecuted; about one-third of reported serious sexual offences are ‘no crimed’ by the police, and many rape offences are reduced to lesser charges through the practice of plea bargaining. Only a small minority of alleged rapists are eventually convicted and receive a custodial sentence (Gregory & Lees, 1996).

“…There seems to be little distinction in the literature between the experience of acquaintance rape trauma and stranger rape trauma regarding the degree of post-rape symptomatology (Ellis, Atkeson & Calhoun, www.ij-psychol.org International Journal of Advances in Psychology (IJAP) Volume 2 Issue 4, November 2013 208 1981; Frank, Turner, & Stewart, 1980;Kilpatrick, Resick & Veronen, 1981;Ruch & Chandler, 1983). Moreover, there seemed to be no consistently differentiating factor (Amir, 1971;Bart & O'Brien, 1981;Bart & O'Brien, 1985, Katz & Burt, 1986) including manner of disclosure or extent of psychological preparation (Bart & O'Brien, 1981;Bart & O'Brien, 1985) such as having a suspicion that the acquaintance might attempt inappropriate sexual advances.…”

This study explores the lived-experience of two South African women who have been raped, not by a stranger, but by an acquaintance. Through a phenomenological research approach, the descriptions of the experience given by the two participants during in-depth interviews were thoroughly explored. Certain aspects of the rape experience emerged from the data and were considered in relation to existing, predominantly Western society literature regarding acquaintance rape and the experience of the victim. In particular, issues such as knowing the perpetrator, the reactions of others to the rape, possible HIV infection and the support received from others were seen to have a significant impact on the nature of the lived-experience of each of the participants regarding their rape ordeal. Although the results of this study are not generalisable, they are able to give practitioners dealing with victims a deeper understanding of the possible aspects that could be a part of the experience of being raped by someone known, and the implications for recovery.
