“…For example, SC has recently been employed to study topics such as self-harm and mental illness (Lloyd and Panagopoulos, 2022), fears and mental health experiences relating to COVID-19 (Vaughan et al. , 2022), sexual refusal in heterosexual relationships (Shah-Beckley and Clarke, 2021) and gender variance through life stages (Butler et al. , 2022).…”

“…Tempering the social desirability barrier of other self-report research practices (Moore et al, 1997), SC is ideal for use when exploring sensitive topics (Gray et al, 2017). For example, SC has recently been employed to study topics such as self-harm and mental illness (Lloyd and Panagopoulos, 2022), fears and mental health experiences relating to COVID-19 (Vaughan et al, 2022), sexual refusal in heterosexual relationships (Shah-Beckley and Clarke, 2021) and gender variance through life stages (Butler et al, 2022). Braun and Clarkeand othershave used SC for exploring body hair practices (Jennings et al, 2019) and conceptions of straight and gay infidelity within heterosexual relationships (Clarke et al, 2015).…”

PurposeThis paper presents a novel exploration of the story completion (SC) method for investigating perpetration of technology-facilitated abuse in relationships (TAR).Design/methodology/approachThe authors adopted the infrequently used SC method to explore TAR perpetration. The perpetration of TAR can involve socially undesirable and potentially illegal behaviours such as online stalking, non-consensual sharing of nude images, and other coercive and controlling behaviours. These problematic behaviours present an ideal context for employing the SC method to reveal new data on TAR perpetrator perspectives, motivations and behaviours.FindingsThe SC method elicited new hypotheses regarding TAR perpetration behaviours and motivations. Post-study reflection on the multifaceted nature of perpetration raised questions about the utility of SC as a stand-alone method for investigating TAR perpetration. Challenges encountered included: striking the most effective length, detail and ambiguity in the story stems, difficulty in eliciting important contextual features in participants’ stories, and other issues scholars encounter when investigating perpetration of violence more broadly. The authors close with suggestions for more effective use of SC methodology in TAR and intimate partner violence research.Originality/valueThis paper expands discussion of the SC method’s application and extends scholarship on violence and perpetration research methodologies. The paper demonstrates the importance of story stem design to the attainment of research objectives and the usefulness and limitations of SC in exploring this sensitive topic and hard-to-reach population. It also advocates for the combined application of SC with other methodological approaches for the attainment of research outcomes when investigating multifaceted phenomenon.

The role of the pediatrician in the management of the child and adolescent with gender dysphoria

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Gender dysphoria is a clinical condition characterized by significant distress due to the discordance between biological sex and gender identity. Currently, gender dysphoria is also found more frequently in children and adolescents, thanks to greater social sensibleness and new therapeutic possibilities. In fact, it is estimated that the prevalence of gender dysphoria in pediatric age is between 0.5% and 2% based on the statistics of the various countries. Therefore, the pediatrician cannot fail to update himself on these issues and above all should be the reference figure in the management of these patients. Even if the patient must be directed to a referral center and be followed up by a multidisciplinary team, the treating pediatrician will care to coordinate the clinical and therapeutic framework. The aim of the present report is therefore to integrate literature data with our clinical experience to propose a new clinical approach in which the pediatrician should be the reference in the care of these patients, directing them towards the best therapeutic approach and staying in contact with the specialists of the referral center.

Understandings of gender are undergoing great change. In caring for children and youth experiencing gender incongruence, we reflect over how to create a systemic conversational space in which they, along with their families, can explore feelings and experiences of gender identity. The family as a phenomenon is a strong discourse, and parents’ voices are important in how this process is experienced. Their active participation in therapy can contribute to children and youth becoming secure in owning their gender identities. We describe using a gender map as an aid to talk about feelings, experiences and desires in conversations with older children, youth, parents and their networks.
