To offer intellectual solutions for women (and men) whom have had their bodies (and minds) altered, drugged, and sacrificed would be just another western medicinal attempt at fixing the problem to rape, cruelty and incest. Western tactics and medical science view the body as not a whole entity, but pieces to be "fixed". The attempt at fixing each part is completely contrary to what integrative medicine is trying to solve. Coming from a somatic perspective, we treat the whole body/mind as one entity. That means that if someone comes to us for help, we look at all cause and effects of the human experience at large.
To be more detailed, treating someone of rape doesn't fit into a medicinal body of pills, but rather in movement and creative somatic expression. Take Elayne Doghy, MFT of http://brightbeautifulwomen.blogspot.com/ whom is helping Congolese women "move through" their trauma. The same can be said by using mindful practices in every day life. http://movingmindfulness.blogspot.com/
