[Sexual and physical abuse in women with severe mental disorder: a literature review].
In order to better understand women who suffer from severe psychiatric disorders, this literature review of 18 studies examines their experiences of sexual and physical abuse. It is apparent that people with severe mental disorder and more specifically women, are vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse. Homeless women with severe mental disorders are particularly vulnerable. The authors focus on links between reality and practice in the treatment of this clientele in both institutional and community settings.
