“…Além disso, auxiliá-los a não permitir que as percepções pessoais negativas em relação ao ex cônjuge, e comportamentos alienantes estejam presentes no contexto no qual a criança/adolescente está inserida. Embora a investigação sobre as experiências de crianças/adolescentes em psicoterapia seja limitada, alguns estudos estão começando a surgir (Davis & Wright, 2008;Freake, Barley, & Kent, 2007). Destaca-se a importância do estabelecimento de uma boa relação e aliança terapêutica para tratamentos que sigam a abordagem de psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental.…”

ResumoA violência é um problema social e de saúde pública vitimizando milhares de crianças e adolescentes no Brasil e no mundo. Crianças/adolescentes se tornam frequentemente vítimas de violência perpetrada comumente por familiares e pessoas próximas. A violência psicológica (VP) pode se manifestar sob forma de rejeição, humilhação, isolamento, depreciação, desrespeito, rotulação, discriminação, corrupção, terrorismo, punição ou cobranças exageradas advindas do responsável/cuidador em relação à criança/ adolescente. Esses fatores podem gerar sintomas e transtornos psicológicos, prejudicando a vida desses indivíduos. A psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental é uma alternativa para prevenção e tratamento em casos de violência contra crianças/adolescentes. Este artigo buscou caracterizar e discutir a VP sofrida por crianças e adolescentes e as consequências desta para o desenvolvimento. Além disso, o artigo objetivou verificar como a psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental está sendo utilizada para o tratamento desses casos. Os resultados apontaram que a psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental é eficaz para o tratamento de vítimas de VP. Além disso, é importante que exista uma boa relação terapêutica e que o paciente possa cooperar no tratamento e na realização de tarefas propostas pelo psicoterapeuta. Sugere-se também que estudos futuros adaptem o modelo de grupoterapia cognitivo-comportamental para crianças/adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual, para crianças e adolescentes vítimas de VP.

“…This may partially explain why some forms of therapy are not as readily accepted or engaged with, particularly those which rely on relationships of trust to be effective, which include most psychological interventions. A review of the literature pertinent to looked after children's views of mental health services (Davies and Wright, 2008) identified ambivalence towards professional intervention, noting that children "felt wary of professionals and uncared for"; and ambivalence towards talking. The review concludes that "research suggests that the therapy type (e.g.…”

“…This remains an important part of government policy, with the 2010 White Paper, "Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS" (Department of Health, 2010), making the explicit statement "no decision about me without me", which is adapted from a phrase widely used in the disability movement and one used in patient and public involvement in England for over ten years (Gilbert, 2003). Service user involvement is widespread across health and social care services in the UK (Simpson and House, 2003) but it is clear that this is less widespread in service for CIC (Davies and Wright, 2008).…”

“…Interdependence recognises the reality that, though we may be individuals, we all rely to a greater or lesser extent on one other. We have noted above that for support for CIC to be effective, the condition of the relationships between people is as important as the condition of the individual (Davies and Wright, 2008). This narrative moves our thinking from people lumped together as a single problem to people as a collection of individual problems and as a whole community that can provide both problems and solutions (Crepaz-Keay et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test whether incorporating a 20-week Kundalini yoga programme into a residential home for children improves well-being outcomes. Design/methodology/approach This is a mixed methods feasibility study. Feasibility was assessed through recruitment and retention rates as well as participants’ self-report perceptions on social inclusion, mental health and well-being and through semi-structured interviews on the benefits of the study. Mutual recovery entailed that children in care (CIC), youth practitioners and management participated together in the Kundalini yoga sessions. Findings The study initially enrolled 100 per cent of CIC and 97 per cent (29/30) of eligible staff. Attendance was low with an average rate of four sessions per participant (SD=3.7, range 0-13). All the participants reported that the study was personally meaningful and experienced both individual (e.g. feeling more relaxed) and social benefits (e.g. feeling more open and positive). Pre- and post-yoga questionnaires did not show any significant effects. Low attendance was associated with the challenges faced by the children’s workforce (e.g. high levels of stress, low status, profile and pay) and insufficient consultation and early involvement of stakeholders on the study implementation process. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach (i.e. feasibility study) and low attendance rate, the research results may lack generalisability. Therefore, further research with larger samples including a control or comparison group to pilot similar research questions is mandatory. Practical implications This study has generated a number of valuable guiding principles and recommendations that might underpin the development of any future intervention for CIC and staff working in children’s homes. Social implications The concept of togetherness and mutuality within residential spaces is discussed in the paper. Originality/value The effects of Kundalini yoga have not been reported before in any peer-review publications. This paper fulfils an identified need (i.e. poor outcomes among CIC and residential staff) and shows how movement and creative practices can support the concept of mutual recovery.

“…Children younger than 12 years are now considered credible to speak of their own experiences (Pryor & Emery, 2004); even in the case of children with learning impairments (Cocks, 2006) where consent/assent becomes harder to ascertain. It is no longer acceptable to rely on adults to speak for children (Cashmore, 2003;Casmore & Parkinson, 2009;Craig, 2003;Davies & Wright, 2008;Hallet & Prout, 2003;Percy-Smith, 2010;Smith et al, 2000); furthermore children wish to be included and consulted on their views (Hill, 2006;Smith & Gollop, 2001a). However, this poses significant ethical dilemmas for the research community.…”

Despite five decades of extensive international research into children's adjustment following parental separation, little has been empirically established about the way in which children navigate this process. Furthermore, the use of children's direct reports about their experience is significantly underrepresented in the literature. Situated within a Social Constructionist framework, this thesis seeks to explore children's direct reports about their experiences during the first two years of separation. The aims of this thesis are twofold: firstly, to gain an understanding of children's experiences of adjustment following a separation based on their own reports; and secondly, to explore the extent to which a grief perspective, the Dual Process Model (DPM), assists in the understanding of these experiences.A qualitative design, utilizing an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach was adopted to ensure rich data would be gathered in exploring children's accounts of their own experiences. In-depth semi-structured interviews were utilized in keeping with IPA which were complemented with a range of developmentally appropriate creative mediums, such as drawing, storytelling and symbolic use of figurines. The intent was to facilitate children's expression of their experiences in offering several modalities to complement the interview process. All interviews were video recorded to capture the detail of interviews, such as silence and pauses, which were relevant to understanding the transcripts.Recruitment was initially conducted through a community based organization which was later supplemented by other recruitment sources. The final sample comprised four families, all within the first two years of separation. Seven children, aged between seven and 13 years, took part in interviews. Six parents from these four families also elected to take part in parent interviews.These parent interviews allowed another perspective/s to be gained regarding a child's unique family context and adjustment. Interviews were conducted at two points through the study, approximately six months apart. In keeping with IPA, allowing participants to talk of how their experiences changed over time was significant.Thematic analysis was first applied to the children's data, using the transcripts from both interviews. The themes were then explored against the DPM to understand the extent to which this model assisted in making sense of children's experiences.Thematic analysis resulted in the following themes being identified. Firstly, in keeping with IPA, children were asked to talk of their understanding of the separation. The Meaning of Separation thematically groups both their literal explanations of the word 'separation' and also the more complex and deeper levels of meaning they attributed to the term. Secondly, children talked about a sense of feeling Alone during the initial period of hearing about the separation, despite being around family and friends who might have been trying to interact with them. This sense of iii ...
