Sure, but it's about a factor of two -- the difference between the sun at noon and 5pm, not the difference between night and day. Broken bones heal, but psychological wounds can last a lifetime -- and cut that lifetime short either through self-harm or the impact on chronic diseases. Sexual assault is so problematic because it has a very long term psychological impact on people. | ||

It also seems obvious that a physical wound very likely occurs in a context that may also create a psychological one. |
