Think Rape Scripts Mft 635 Touro University Use

Question #1

How do you think “rape scripts” influence the way we might diagnose PTSD in a rape survivor?

I found this video to be interesting and also latent with resources. Listen particularly to her discussion about how rape scripts, how we speak about rape, have not been developed.

This article is an important cultural companion to the article and discussion on rape scripts that has physiological implications (as we discussed in Module 1, Discussion 2):

Question #2

What does it mean to address trauma “systemically?” DESCRIBE three elements that should be part of a systems approach to trauma-informed practice.

Comments from Professor:

Here is a video breaking down some of the MFT models as you could apply them to trauma treatment. It is a lot of information. Please do not think this is a full overview of the model, but more of a general overview of how the model could be applied to trauma. The main takeaway I hope you can see is that trauma can be treated through multiple lenses/modalities. There isn’t a “best fit” for treating trauma. Research supports therapy as a productive treatment for trauma. That being said, there are many therapy models that can be effective in helping clients with trauma. Hope this helps.
