Sexual Violence, Dissociation, and Inequality is a book about
traumatic memory—or how lived trauma is repeated by victims as if
happening again. The author, internationally renowned psychiatrist
Muriel Salmona, lays out a convincing argument for the ways in which
victims are neurologically compelled to relive trauma and how, with
proper treatment, they can fully heal. Informed by decades of clinical
practice, research, and activism, Salmona explains how victims’
behaviors are rooted in neurology as normal responses to abnormal
situations. In contrast to a climate of victim-blaming denial, Salmona
explains how grave the violation of victims’ human rights truly is
and what to do about it in terms of care and prevention. She explains
in clear language how to reconstruct victims’ narratives, which are
often clouded by traumatic amnesia, and thereby reconnect parts of the
brain that were severed during the traumatic event. This is a guide
for professionals who work with survivors, for survivors themselves,
and for anyone committed to understanding and reducing violence and
inequality.
