Harnessing the Power of the Group for Latency-aged Sexual Abuse Victims

Abstract: For children who have been sexually abused, group therapy is often a preferred treatment modality. Although much consideration has been given to what structured activities, goals, and objectives should be included in groups for sexually abused children, limited attention has been paid to the dynamics and processes inherent in the group. This article follows the dynamic unfolding of a short-term structured group for latency-aged, female sexual abuse victims. Special emphasis is placed on listening to the messag… Show more

“…For purposes of this review, and due to the potential for impact from experiences other than maltreatment, the discussion of treatment following abuse will be limited to literature examining treatment in childhood following CSA as opposed to treatment of adults victimized as children. In children and adolescents, utilizing group therapy for victims tends to be a popular and effective mode of treatment due to the fact that sexual abuse is cloaked in secrecy and often results in the victim feeling isolated (Heiman & Ettin, 2001). Results from a one month follow-up study after 11 sessions of treatment, female victims (aged 8-11 years) participating in group therapy showed that the participants and their caregivers felt the treatment had helped (Heiman & Ettin, 2001).…”

“…As cost-effective and efficient ways to treat many with the fewest resources available, group interventions are frequently utilized with victims of CSA, as well as with non-offending family members to provide them with their own sources of support (e.g., Avinger & Jones, 2007;Grayston & DeLuca, 1995;Heiman & Ettin, 2001;Reeker & Ensing, 1998;Sturkie, 1994).…”

“…Para garantir o melhor interesse da criança, a literatura propõe que, durante sua escuta, a forma de ela se expressar e até mesmo seu silêncio devam ser compreendidos e respeitados incondicionalmente (Barbosa, 2007;Heiman & Ettin, 2001;Pfeiffer & Salvagni, 2005). A confiança nos adultos, perdida em virtude da dinâmica do abuso e suas particularidades, deve ser resgatada pelo profissional por meio de um vínculo seguro (Azevedo, 2001;Dobke, 2001;Goodman, Bottoms, Rudy, Davies & Schwartz-Kenney, 2001;Juárez-López, 2004;Junqueira, 2002;Pfeiffer & Salvagni, 2005).…”
