Emotionally Involved - The Impact Of Researching Rape (Paperback, Reissue)



Rape can happen to anyone. Intellectually, most of us accept this fact. Emotionally, however, it is a difficult proposition to internalize-unless one is confronted with the faces and the voices of rape survivors on a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month basis. Emotionally Involved describes the emotional impact of researching rape. What does it feel like to be a researcher studying such an emotionally painful topic? How is one affected by hearing victims' stories over and over again? Based on interviews with over 100 rape researchers, Rebecca Campbell explores what it feels like to continually work with these distressing accounts of sexual violence in women's lives. She investigates how these courageous workers understand and cope with stressful and discomforting feelings. Tackling difficult issues such as AIDS, pornography, mental illness, domestic violence, prostitution, drug abuse, and death/dying. Emotionally Involved give a vivid Picture of these researchers and their important work.
