Night of sexual abuse

Korvo: "Why is a puppy friends with an otter? They don't share a habitat!" Solar Opposites S03E09
If you read my journal of last week, you probably know what to expect x-D
I have an exam again tomorrow. Child and adolescent psychopathology, blah. Spent the weekend on dyspraxia, early-onset schizophrenia, youth anxiety disorders, Tourette syndrome, and so on. Right now it's late at night and I'm reviewing abuse, esp. reading a 1983 paper on the "Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome" by R.C. Summit. The guy's full of passion for his cause, and sometimes he seems to mix profoundity and voyeurism, such as in:
"Children often describe their first experiences as waking up to find their father (or stepfather, or mother's live-in companion) exploring their bodies with hands or mouth. Less frequently, they may find a penis filling their mouth or probing between their legs. Society allows the child one acceptable set of reactions to such an experience. Like the adult victim of rape, the child victim is expected to forcibly resist, to cry for help and to attempt to escape the intrusion. By that standard, almost every child fails.
The normal reaction is to "play possum," that is to feign sleep, to shift position and to pull up the covers. Small creatures simply do not call on force to deal with overwhelming threat. When there is no place to run, they have no choice but to try to hide. Children generally learn to cope silently with terrors in the night. Bed covers take on magical powers against monsters, but they are no match for human intruders."
On a lighter note, and assuming you heard of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, did you notice that the acronym is CBT, which also means something else?

On the other note... good luck on your exam.
*huggles and rubs your chest*
That's not zero, though
I'm joking of course.
Also...CBT, lol. Oh psychology, the lols you bring me.
Bonne chance pour ton exam.
J'espère que ton examen s'est bien passé ce matin.
