“…A recent meta-analysis of 44 studies highlights traditional treatments for CSA, which predominantly focus on reducing symptoms and improving functioning by altering cognitive distortions and dysfunctional behavioral patterns in adulthood like substance abuse, mental health difficulties, and subsequent abuse (Taylor & Harvey, 2010). Such modalities are, for example, cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT), which aims to alter cognitions while processing memories in order to change behavior (Wilen, Littell, & Salanti, 2012). Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) focuses on “memory activation and emotional re-processing” as well as redirecting misconceptions about the trauma (Wilen et al, 2012, p. 3).…”

Psychodynamic therapy also focuses on reducing psychiatric symptoms and increasing social adjustment, but there is, however, also a strong focus on facilitating insight relating to the experience of trauma as well as modeling a supportive relationship (Callahan et al, 2004; Lord, 2008).…”

This study evaluated the benefits of a ''survivor to thriver'' strengths-based group intervention program to facilitate posttraumatic growth in women survivors of child sexual abuse. Method: A quasi-experimental, one group, pretest, posttest, time-delay design was employed using qualitative methods to evaluate the benefits of the intervention with 10 purposively selected women with a history of child sexual abuse. Six group sessions were conducted as well as a delayed follow-up session. Qualitative data were collected using drawings, narratives, and transcriptions. Results: Qualitative thematic content data analysis portrayed enabling processes of PTG such as emotional awareness, decisive action, posttrauma identity, and a healing group context. Conclusion: These themes suggest growth outcomes. However, a longitudinal study is recommended to establish efficacy and to inform practice with replicable interventions.

“…On this basis, we will classify the risk of bias of the selected studies in three groups: low, high and unable to classify (Waddington et al, 2012.b). Following Wilen et al (2012), we will separately classify risk of bias linked to conflict of interest, creating three groups (high risk, unclear, low risk).…”

Social cohesion' as used in this paragraph follows the terminology of international organizations. Recent sociological literature keeps the expression 'social solidarity' in reference to Durkheim´s original work and reserves the term social cohesion for present definitions. Jamaat et al. (2009) argue that 'social cohesion' has been used in the Anglo-Saxon literature as a translation for the French solidarité social. Meanwhile, in the philosophical literature, critical theory refers to solidarity in very close association to Durkheim and the sociological tradition, and thus in very close connection to social cohesion, whereas in pure ethical reflection, solidarity is understood as a disposition to reciprocal or asymmetrical aid to others. In the latter case, cohesion results from an individual or social ethical virtue.

The child welfare system is not a single entity. Many organizations in each community work together to strengthen families and keep children safe. Public agencies, such as departments of social services or child and family services, often contract and collaborate with private child welfare agencies and community-based organizations to provide services to families, such as in-home family preservation services, foster care, residential treatment, mental health care, substance use treatment, parenting skills classes, domestic violence services, employment assistance, and financial or housing assistance. Child welfare systems are complex, and their specific procedures vary widely by State. The purpose of this factsheet is to give a brief overview of the purposes and functions of child welfare from a national perspective.
