Within feminist scholarship, the dominance of the increasingly neurobiologically based trauma model is often represented as symptomatic of a decline in feminist politics and influence, evidence of the ‘medicalisation’ of sexual assault; an incursion that deprives victims of agency and effectively reduces a social and political issue to a problem of individual mental health. However, in applied settings such as rape crisis and sexual assault services, rather than antithetical to, the trauma model is often understood as integral to feminist work against sexual violence. This chapter provides a nuanced understanding of the relationship between feminism and trauma in Australia. Drawing on current policy documents, training manuals, industry research reports and worker interviews as well as my own earlier experiences as a sexual assault worker, I explore the ways in which the neuroscience of trauma is put to work via its translation into specific policies, practices, and programmes. I explore questions such as what possibilities—and limitations—does the neuroscience of trauma offer up to working with the embodied effects of sexual violence? I contribute to dialogue about the productive possibilities of feminist engagement with, rather than antagonism towards or dismissal of, medicine, psychiatry, and neuroscience.
