“…Jungian sandplay was used with two parents whose son, James, witnessed another child being beaten to death by his inebriated step-father (Green & Connolly, 2009). The parents were having difficulties understanding why their son was engaging in maladapative coping mechanisms, such as wetting his pants and refusing to fall asleep at night after the trauma.…”

Despite the growing clinical literature aimed at assisting children affected by potentially traumatizing events, little exists about individual treatment for nonoffending parents. Nonoffending parents' reactions to their children's traumatic events can be extensive and long-lasting and frequently include complex feelings about themselves, their children, the offender, and the judicial system. Furthermore, these feelings and reactions can impact their children's own healing. This article aims to provide an individual play therapy treatment paradigm designed for nonoffending parents. Additionally, this article will describe posttraumatic reactions of nonoffending parents and their effects on traumatized children.

“…Når et barn mister en foraelder, forandres livet for altid. Den verden, der ofte virkede sikker og forudsigelig, bliver pludselig fremmed, skraemmende og uforudsigelig (Green & Connolly, 2009). I tiden efter tabet af en foraelder kan det vaere umuligt at forestille sig, hvordan man nogensinde skal kunne genfinde livsglaeden og komme videre i livet.…”

Igennem det sidste årti er der i forskningsverdenen opnået bred enighed om, at forældretab i barndommen har altomfattende konsekvenser. Det inkluderer, at sorgramte børn oftere pådrager sig psykiske, fysiske, sociale og faglige udfordringer senere i livet. Udfordringerne kan ved livstruende sygdom spores allerede i tiden op til dødsfaldet, ligesom de er synlige, i tiden efter dødsfaldet. Selvom de fleste af sådanne reaktioner reduceres med tiden, forbliver andre vedvarende.Denne artikel ønsker igennem en litteraturanalyse at formidle konsekvenserne af at miste en forælder som barn. Dette sker primært ud fra de sidste to årtiers forskning og igennem en præsentation af de undersøgelser, der har beskæftiget sig med de fysiske, psykologiske, pædagogiske og sociale konsekvenser af forældretab i barndommen. Der vil i artiklen være fokus på at evaluere både studiernes begrænsninger såvel som kvalitet. Artiklen er forfattet som en narrativ oversigtsartikel, der beskriver de vigtigste studier på området og vurderer disse ud fra forfatternes forsknings- og kliniske erfaring.

“…Psychosomatic symptoms, difficulties in school, behavior problems, eating problems, low self-esteem, anxiety, aggression, difficulties socializing, and regressed behavior are some examples of these reactions (Howarth, 2011;Lima & Kovács, 2011). The experience of loss can also affect child's perception of themselves and the external environment, causing them to develop a feeling of non-belonging (Graham, 2004;Green & Connolly, 2009).…”

Children’s Grief and Creativity: The Experience of Losing a Sibling

2018

When children lose one of their siblings, they seek their parents' emotional support. However, because their parents also feel the loss of one of their children, they cannot provide adequate emotional support for the living ones. Consequently, children have difficulty mourning that loss. This study aims to understand the psychodynamics of children who lost a sibling. The research involved three children, two boys at the age of 11 and 12, and a girl at the age of eight. Individual sessions were conducted to apply the House-Tree-Person Test (HTP) and the Fables Test with the children. Family environments were fragile, driving participants to suppress their feelings and develop symptoms such as learning disability, fear of death, psychosomatic symptoms, dependency, and difficulty in the symbolization process. To express their grief, children need to use their creativity, with the aid of an external environment that offers holding. Such setting allows them to express anguish and anxiety, and to resume their emotional development, despite the difficulties. Keywords: mourning; siblings; creativity. Luto infantil e Capacidade Criativa: A Experiência de Perder um IrmãoResumo Quando as crianças perdem um irmão buscam o apoio emocional dos pais, contudo, estes, por também viverem essa experiência de perda, têm dificuldade para oferecer suporte afetivo aos filhos, o que dificulta a elaboração do luto da criança. Esse estudo objetivou compreender os psicodinamismos de crianças que perderam um irmão. Participaram três crianças, dois meninos de 11 e 12 anos e uma menina com 8 anos. Foi realizado um encontro com cada criança em que se aplicou o Teste da Casa-Árvore--Pessoa (HTP) e o Teste das Fábulas. O ambiente familiar se apresentou como frágil aos participantes, o que os faz reprimir seus sentimentos, ocasionando o surgimento de sintomas, como medo da morte, sintomas psicossomáticos, dependência dos pais, dificuldades de aprendizagem e do processo de simbolização. Para elaborar o luto, as crianças precisam utilizar da sua capacidade criativa, com auxílio de um ambiente externo disponível, que permita a expressão das angústias e receios, possibilitando a retomada do desenvolvimento emocional apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas.
