“…O grupo oportuniza reduzir o sentimento de diferença em relação aos pares, bem como oferece espaços para que as vítimas possam relatar sentimentos referentes ao abuso; discutir crenças quanto à culpa pela experiência abusiva. Além disso, possibilita integrar e reestruturar a memória traumática, desenvolver habilidades preventivas a outras situações abusivas; e elaborar sentimentos de isolamento e estigmatização (Habigzang & Caminha, 2004;Kruczek & Vitanza, 1999;McCrone & cols., 2005;McGain & McKinzey, 1995;Smith, 1993Smith, /1996.…”

RESUMO -O abuso sexual contra crianças e adolescentes é considerado um importante problema de saúde pública. Dessa forma, é necessário o desenvolvimento de estudos que avaliem a efetividade de modelos de intervenção psicológica. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar um modelo de grupoterapia cognitivo-comportamental para meninas vítimas de abuso sexual. Participaram 10 meninas com idade entre 9 e 13 anos, vítimas de pelo menos um episódio de abuso sexual intrafamiliar. O tipo de abuso sexual variou entre os casos, sendo que, em sete, ocorreram manipulação de genitais e assédio e, em três, relações sexuais com penetração. O delineamento utilizado foi medidas repetidas, realizadas antes, durante e depois da intervenção. Foram avaliados sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, estresse e transtorno do estresse pós-traumático. O modelo avaliado é constituído por 20 sessões com atividades semi-estruturadas. Os resultados apontaram a redução signifi cativa dos sintomas e a reestruturação de crenças disfuncionais relacionadas ao abuso.Palavras-chave: abuso sexual; terapia cognitivo-comportamental; avaliação; infância; adolescência. Assessment of a Psychology Intervention Model Effect on Sexual Abused GirlsABSTRACT -The sexual abuse against children and adolescents is an important public health problem.

A intervenção terapêutica em casos de abuso sexual é complexa e precisa ser planejada, considerando o impacto dessa experiência para o desenvolvimento da vítima e da sua família, mudanças no ambiente imediato, disponibilidade de rede de apoio social e afetiva e fatores de risco e proteção associados Saywitz, Mannarino, Berliner & Cohen, 2000).Uma meta-análise sobre pesquisas publicadas em língua inglesa que avaliara...

“…Group counseling may best meet adolescents' developmental and therapeutic needs, and it is sometimes considered the intervention modality of choice when counseling adolescents (Corder, 2000;Gerrity & mathews, 2006;Kruczek & Vitanza, 1999). According to Erikson (1959), adolescence is a time when one's primary tasks are to develop a sense of independence and autonomy from one's family while establishing a stable self-concept and identity.…”

“…The solution-focused and Ericksonian approaches to counseling provide strength-based theoretical frameworks that can be used when counseling adolescents who have been sexually abused (Dolan, 1991;Kruczek & Vitanza, 1999). These active, strength-based and short-term counseling approaches are inherently empowering.…”

“…The efficacy of psychoeducational groups has been supported (Cohen, 1998;Cohen, Berliner, & March, 2000;Kruczek & Vitanza, 1999;Nader, 2001), and there is preliminary indication that psychological debriefing is effective (Stallard & Law, 1993).…”

“…School personnel can use group programming to provide crisis and preventive interventions to help students and their families cope with these traumatic experiences (Yule, 2001). Group interventions are particularly useful in treating trauma in schools, as they are a cost-effective intervention that provides a sense of community and support (Blom, 1986) by combating the feelings of isolation often associated with trauma recovery (Kruczek & Vitanza, 1999). While both Type I and Type II trauma can be addressed within the school setting, there is clearly a need to develop guidelines that school personnel can use in the schools to address Type I trauma occurring as a result of single-episode disasters or community violence.…”

Trauma has the potential to undermine both the educational and personal achievement of students. This article will provide a review and an integration of theoretical and empirical literature on the prevention and treatment of stress disorders, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children and teens. An initial review of the biopsychosocial factors related to the development of stress disorders is followed by a comprehensive model of preventive intervention. Recommendations for best practices to prevent and treat PTSD in the school setting are guided by existing treatment-outcome literature.
