description: There are no shortcuts to recovery from the trauma of rape. Combining the perspective gained from both a harrowing personal experience and her training as a counselor, Judy Katz describes the healing process through which all victims must pass.The author says that many different reactions to the rape can emerge weeks or months after the event, and a woman's ability to recover and move on with her life will often depend upon the kinds of support she receives from her friends, family, physicians, and co-workers.No Fairy Godmothers also explains that the lives of not only the victim but those of her support network's members will be permanently affected by the trauma, and that the goal should be to integrate the experience in a new order. While there are no panaceas for women who have been raped, Judy Katz's book is a powerful tool in getting the recovery process started.
