“…The most pressing issues being a lack of access to adequate (psycho)therapy, financial burdens, duration of court proceedings, and witness credibility assessment as well as plausibility checks. These findings are consistent with research by Görgen et al (2012) who showed, that apart from the better documented psychological and physical long-term effects of CSA financial burdens and other long-term economic consequences may play a substantial role in the process of dealing with CSA but haven't been examined in detail yet. In line with this Herman (1994) as well as Figley (2013) stated that financial, just as much as social and personal resources, are necessary for survivors to rebuild a safe environment for themselves and help them integrate their experiences in self and world.…”

“…A factor whose influence on processing experiences of CSA has not been investigated more thoroughly are obstacles in the context of criminal investigations (Walsh et al, 2010;Görgen et al, 2012;Volbert, 2012). Some research indicates, that longduration of court proceedings, as well as the anticipation to make a statement in front of a court (in presence of the accused perpetrator), may lead to a short-term negative influence on wellbeing and slower recovery of the damage caused by the crime (Runyan et al, 1988;Volbert, 2012).…”

“…In the case of state and religious institutions this could be achieved for example by these institutions ensuring that, as part of prevention programs, suitable contact persons are available for potential victims of sexualized violence. Furthermore, given the replicated reports of lack of access to therapy a potential expansion of the availability of suitable therapy places for survivors of CSA in Germany could be discussed (Görgen et al, 2012). Focusing on low-threshold offers and specific expertise could be helpful (Pawils et al, 2017;Alaggia et al, 2019).…”

Obstacles in dealing with child sexual abuse (CSA) can hinder survivors in the process of coming to terms with their experiences. The present study aims to identify and analyze factors that may pose obstacles in the long-term process of dealing with CSA. It is part of a larger research consortium “Auf-Wirkung,” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and was conducted in cooperation with the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in Germany (IICSAG). The IICSAG was appointed by the Independent Commissioner for Child Sexual Abuse Issues and the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth in 2016. To determine responsibilities, recognize injustice, and further acknowledge the survivors of CSA in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the Independent Inquiry has held 1,303 private sessions with survivors of CSA by Oct. 17th, 2020. The present study focuses on exploring reoccurring problematic experiences reported by survivors in private sessions regarding the long-term process of dealing with experiences of CSA. A total of 30 transcripts of private sessions, conducted by members and appointees of the IICSAG between September 2016 and June 2019, were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Attendants of private sessions described a variety of obstacles, including negative social reactions to disclosure, institutions' unwillingness to elucidate occurrences of CSA within their midst, as well as general financial difficulties, and those linked to redress claims. Manipulative grooming by perpetrators and limited access to adequate psychotherapy were perceived as obstructive by survivors dealing with CSA. In the context of criminal proceedings, survivors reported long durations of court proceedings and negative experiences in connection to credibility assessment. Results will be discussed to better support survivors of CSA in the process of dealing with their experiences in the future.

“…The consequences and effects are diverse: Somatic symptoms, general health status, and mental illnesses are among the consequences of ACEs, as well as social consequences for affected individuals ( 3 ). These include chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and stroke ( 4 – 6 ).…”

Adverse childhood experiences growing up in East or West Germany or abroad

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur before the age of 18. The term encompasses various adverse childhood experiences, e.g., physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, physical and psychological neglect, and family dysfunction. Prevalence estimates for a broad spectrum of ACEs against the background of where childhood and adolescence were spent are scarcely available in Germany. This study examines the frequencies of adverse childhood experiences, considering growing up in East or West Germany or abroad and interacting with different age cohorts and gender.MethodsA total of 5,018 individuals (51.4% female) aged 14 years and older were retrospectively assessed on adverse childhood experiences using questionnaires “adverse childhood experiences” (ACE). Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between birth cohort, gender, and where a person grew up. Descriptive statistics and univariate analyses were used to calculate frequencies, proportions, and unadjusted associations for each variable.Results37.4% (N = 1,878) of respondents reported experiencing at least one form of ACE. Individuals who grew up abroad report significantly more adverse childhood experiences than individuals in East or West Germany. Men and women who grew up in East Germany reported a lower rate of ACEs. We found significant effects for all predictors: Where childhood and adolescence were predominantly spent, year of birth, and gender. Significant differences in the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences within the gender groups were only found for sexual and physical abuse and substance dependence in the household.ConclusionThe results suggest that the socio-political context plays an essential role in the experience of adverse childhood experiences, both in frequency and risk. Thus, child abuse and neglect studies should increasingly focus on societal risk and protection mechanisms.

“…Dabei wurden Kindesmisshandlungsformen unterschiedlich definiert, operationalisiert und eigene Cut-off-Werte festgelegt, was eine Erklärung für die nach oben abweichenden Prävalenzen bei Striegel-Moore u. Kollegen[32] sein kann. Die zum Teil inkonsistenten Definitionen und Operationalisierungen der verschiedenen Formen von Kindesmisshandlung schränken die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse ein und können zu Verzerrungen führen[29,50]. Eine weitere methodische Schwierigkeit stellt die retrospektive Erhebung von Erfahrungen mit Kindesmisshandlung dar[51,52].…”
