This book contributes to an overall understanding of the nature and
the impact of sexual boundary violations. By exploring an extreme
human experience, childhood sexual abuse, the present study allows an
insight into a hidden, silenced, and destructive aspect of human
relations. It is the first of its kind to make comprehensible both the
general path from violation to sickness, and the particular logic of
assault embodiment. Due to its theoretical and methodological
framework, the present study provides evidence that the embodiment of
sexual violation experience is informed by situated logic and
rationality. These, however, do not correspond to scientific logic and
rationality. The universe of socio-culturally constituted meaning and
that of scientifically constructed knowledge are shown to be
incompatible. Subjectively informed violation embodiment is likely to
be misinterpreted and consequently maltreated within the objectively
grounded framework of current biomedical praxis. Consequently, victims
of silenced sexual violence are revictimized by medicine.
