Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche sur les pratiques d’intervention auprès des enfants exposés à la violence conjugale. Les données ont été recueillies dans 146 établissements et organismes (CLSC, centres jeunesse, maisons d’hébergement) oeuvrant dans le domaine de la violence. La plupart des interventions sont basées sur l’aide individuelle; elles se distinguent selon trois types : les pratiques féministes formelles, les pratiques féministes ponctuelles et les pratiques éclectiques/systémiques. Des interventions spontanées ont également été relevées dans desmaisons d’hébergement. Le portrait des pratiques d’intervention tracé soulève des questions sur la difficulté pour les intervenants d’évaluer les résultats de leur action, sur le peu de rayonnement des interventions auprès des adolescents et sur la place faite aux parents.Research suggested that exposure to woman battering negatively affects the behaviour and emotional well-being of children. The growing awareness of these effects have led to a variety of services for children. But the nature of these services is not well known. This article reports the results of a survey aimed at describing the goals, processes and results of child counselling delivered on a one-to-one basis in community services, child welfare agencies and women’s shelters. Informal programs for children in women’s shelters are also described
This paper presents selected findings of an exploratory descriptive research project which studied social work practice with groups in Montreal. This study replicates an earlier research by Home and Darveau-Foumier which was reported in this journal in the fall of 1982. After briefly presenting the design, theoretical framework and methodology of the research, this paper will pay particular anention to the data generated by merging the files from the two studies and the connections between these data and social groupwork theory. The combined findings permitted the identification of a typology of groupwork practice which has implications for groupwork practice, teaching and theory development.
