Violated?
Abstract
In this issue we have an article by Motsei and news of a symposium on the topic of violence. Are you also discovering more and more in the consulting room that all kinds of symptoms have their origin in a preceding violation) There is a long list: rape, abuse, assault, incest, tonsillectomy without any explanation and inadequate anaesthesia, hijacking, burglary and you name it. Often the experience of having been violated is not discovered, and an endless ritual of many failed treatments for various conditions and symptoms and doctor-hopping takes place.
