The Body and Consent in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Medicine

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the complexities surrounding sexual abuse, the book critiques existing frameworks that hinder the recognition of refusal. It utilizes perspectives from critical, discursive, and feminist psychology to propose that the definition of sexual abuse should prioritize the victim's subjective experience rather than the abuser's intent. This approach aims to reshape understanding and responses to sexual violence by highlighting the importance of individual narratives and contexts.
