The Body and Consent in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Medicine

More about the book

Focusing on the complexities surrounding the definition of sexual abuse, the book critiques traditional frameworks that prioritize the abuser's intent over the victim's experience. It employs insights from critical, discursive, and feminist psychology to explore how societal structures can create environments where individuals struggle to refuse unwanted advances. By emphasizing the subjective nature of abuse, it challenges prevailing narratives and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of consent and victimhood.
