Treatment is similar to that of ptsd. They are asked to discuss it vividly this repeated exposure is to help extinguish the fear. Depression can be addressed by helping the women re-evaluate her role in the rape (many victims see themselves as partially responsible) Reasons for not reporting rape: they consider is a private matter, the fear of revenge from the rapist or his family/friends, they believe the police would be inefficient or insensitive.
