Les enfants victimes d'agression sexuelle sont susceptibles de présenter un large éventail de difficultés d'adaptation (ex. : dépression, anxiété, ÉSPT). En plus des conséquences associées à la victimisation sexuelle, certains enfants et leurs familles doivent faire face à des procédures judiciaires à la suite du dévoilement de l'enfant. L'influence de l'implication judiciaire incluant le témoignage devant un tribunal et le fait de devoir relater des évènements potentiellement traumatisants, tel qu'une agression sexuelle soulève des questionnements chez les intervenants et les chercheurs œuvrant auprès des jeunes victimes d'agression sexuelle. Toutefois, il existe peu d'étude sur l'implication judiciaire des enfants victimes d'agression sexuelle (Jodi A. Quas et al., 2005). L'objectif principal du présent mémoire est d'évaluer l'influence de l'implication judiciaire des enfants victimes d'agression sexuelle sur leur santé mentale et leur rétablissement. Dans la présente étude longitudinale, l'influence du témoignage a été examinée chez un échantillon de 344 enfants (à l'évaluation initiale) recevant des services thérapeutiques dans un centre d'appui aux enfants (CAE), parmi eux, 130 enfants ont témoigné lors de procédures judiciaires. L'âge des participants variait de 6 à 14 ans (m = 9,42 é.t. = 2,14). Les enfants et leurs parents ont complété une série de mesures pour évaluer la santé mentale de l'enfant (ex. : dépression, anxiété, ÉSPT) à quatre moments dans leur trajectoire de service (à l'évaluation initiale, après les services au CAE, 1 an après l'évaluation initiale et 2 ans après l'évaluation initiale). Les analyses multiniveaux indiquent que tous les enfants, indépendamment de leur implication judiciaire, présentent des améliorations significatives avec les services thérapeutiques. Toutefois, le groupe qui a témoigné à plusieurs reprises présente des niveaux plus élevés de détresse émotionnelle 2 ans après l'évaluation initiale. Cette étude souligne l'importance de documenter l'expérience des victimes d'agression sexuelle dans le système de justice afin d'établir les conditions adéquates pour soutenir les enfants témoins.

In Awakening the Dreamer: Clinical Journeys, Philip Bromberg continues the illuminating explorations into dissociation and clinical process begun in Standing in the Spaces (1998). Bromberg is among our most gifted clinical writers, especially in his unique ability to record peripheral variations in relatedness - those subtle, split-second changes that capture the powerful workings of dissociation and chart the changing self-states that analyst and patient bring to the moment. For Bromberg, a model of mind premised on the centrality of self-states and dissociation not only offers the optimal lens for comprehending and interpreting clinical data; it also provides maximum leverage for achieving true intersubjective relatedness. And this manner of looking at clinical data offers the best vantage point for integrating psychoanalytic experience with the burgeoning findings of contemporary neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology, and attachment research. Dreams are approached not as texts in need of deciphering but as means of contacting genuine but not yet fully conscious self-states. From here, he explores how the patient's "dreamer" and the analyst's "dreamer" can come together to turn the "real" into the "really real" of mutative therapeutic dialogue. The "difficult," frequently traumatized patient is newly appraised in terms of tensions within the therapeutic dyad. And then there is the "haunted" patient who carries a sense of preordained doom through years of otherwise productive work - until the analyst can finally feel the patient's doom as his or her own. Laced with Bromberg's characteristic honesty, humor, and thoughtfulness, these essays elegantly attest to the mind's reliance on dissociation, in both normal and pathological variants, in the ongoing effort to maintain self-organization. Awakening the Dreamer, no less than Standing in the Spaces, is destined to become a permanent part of the literature on therapeutic process and change.

ISBN: 0202364704

This collection of authoritative studies portrays how the A basic agencies of socialization transform the newborn human organism into a social person capable of interacting with others. Socialization differs from one society to another and within any society from one segment to another. Childhood Socialization samples some of that variation, giving the reader a glimpse of socialization in contexts other than those with which he or she is likely to be familiar. In the years since publication of the first edition of this book in 1988, childhood has become a territory open to broader sociological investigation. In this revised edition, Gerald Handel has selected and gathered new contributions that analyze the agents of socialization, including family, school, and peer group,, and explore the influences of television and gender. The balance of classical studies and more recent work reflecting changes in the family structure renews the centrality of this anthology for courses in the social psychology of children up to adolescence. The book is divided into nine parts: "Socialization, Indi-viduation, and the Self; "Historical Changes in Attitudes Toward Children"; "Families as Socialization Agents"; "Daycare and Nursery School as Socialization Agents"; "Schools as Socialization Agents"; "Peer Groups as Socialization Agents"; "Television and its Influence"; "Gender Socialization"; and "Social Stratification and Inequality in Socialization." While socialization continues on into the adolescent and adult years, childhood socialization is primary, essential in creating the human person and in shaping the identity, outlook, skills, and resources of the evolving person. Childhood Socialization is a dynamic volume that will be of continuing interest to students and scholars of family studies, sociology, psychology, and modern culture.

Violence in families and intimate relationships affects a significant proportion of the population—from very young children to the elderly—with far-reaching and often devastating consequences. Cruel but Not Unusual draws on the expertise of scholars and practitioners to present readers with the latest research and thinking about the history, conditions, and impact of violence in these contexts. For this new edition, chapters have been updated to reflect changes in data and legislation. New chapters include an examination of trauma from a neurobiological perspective; a critical analysis of the “gender symmetry debate,” a debate that questions the gendered nature of intimate violence; and an essay on the history and evolution of the women’s movement dedicated to addressing violence against women, which advances theoretical developments that remind readers of the breadth of inclusivity that should be at the heart of working in this field.
