The subject of victim psychology has become an area of great interest in recent times, due mostly, perhaps, to the widely publicized conversion of Patricia Hearst to the radical SLA. Why a victim will turn and become a party to his or her own abduction is a question open to hot debate. Vivian Long is a young girl who finds herself the pawn in a vicious scheme to wreak vengeance upon her powerful father, a state senator. In the attempt to get at the Senator through his daughter, Vivian is kidnapped in Mexico, framed for smuggling, brutally raped, then thrown into prison, where even more terrible degradation awaits the once innocent girl. And much to Vivian's own horror, she finds herself becoming accustomed to the abuse heaped upon her; indeed, she eventually even aids her captors in their diabolical scheme, finding that she can actually enjoy being victimized. THE WHORE MAKERS - a thought-provoking study of one woman's reaction to threatening circumstances. A word of warning to us all.
