title: Crisis resolution, competence, and empowerment: A service model for women.
abstract: The victimization that occurs when women have experienced sexual violence often disrupts their connection to community, producing feelings of helplessness and powerlessness. Traditional models of crisis intervention and self-help assist women in their exploration of the personal consequences of this victimization, facilitating a healing process. Women can move on through a developmental growth process leading to competence and empowerment. This paper presents a promotive service model for women to help them move through personal victimization to social competence and political empowerment.
