Abstract
Abstract This paper addresses the process of some instances of revictimization, through the lens of the repetition-compulsion phenomenon. The repeat victim's reenaetment of sexual and other abuse both within and beyond the therapeutic environment is addressed. Nonverbal behaviors, in particular, are discussed as the overt manifestation of unconscious transference reactions which may contribute to trauma being repeated or reenaeted. Some repeat victim “types” are discussed within this context, although more specific descriptions are most appropriately left to the individual case. Finally, some issues regarding treatment are noted.
