Collaboration entre cliniciens et chercheurs autour de la «consultation systémique» : une situation de violence intrafamiliale

Cet article vise à illustrer la collaboration et l'enrichissement mutuel qu'apportent aux chercheurs et aux cliniciens l'utilisation de la «consultation systémique». Cette dernière, demandée soit spontanément par les parents, soit par le(s) thérapeute(s) qui suive(nt) la famille, a pour but l'évaluation des interactions familiales. Lors d'une première rencontre, les questions qui motivent les parents et/ou thérapeute(s) à consulter sont formulées et la famille est invitée à faire des jeux familiaux semi-standardisés qui sont filmés. Lors d'une deuxième rencontre réunissant les mêmes personnes, un visionnement d'extraits des films sert de base à une discussion ainsi qu'à l'élaboration de réponses aux questions posées, en partant des observations des chercheurs. Après une description de la consultation systémique standard (principes, objectifs, procédure et situations d'observation), une vignette clinique atypique, concernant des violences intrafamiliales, illustrera la variété et la richesse de ces consultations. Les observations micro et macro-analytiques des interactions données par les chercheurs, auxquelles s'ajoute la compréhension clinique des thérapeutes, montrent qu'une collaboration entre eux est fructueuse pour toutes les parties concernées.

Developing a Workplace Policy on Domestic Violence and Abuse (PDF 219KB)

This guide for employers has been produced by the Regional Steering Group on Domestic Violence in line with the strategy and action plan “Tackling Violence at Home” published in October 2005. The Regional Steering Group is a group of about 30 members representing the statutory and voluntary agencies involved in dealing with domestic violence. The guidance provides advice on how employers can develop increased awareness and more effective responses to domestic violence in the workplace for the benefit of all staff. The Regional Steering Group acknowledges that some employers already have good workplace policies in place and it encourages all employers across the public, private, voluntary and community sectors to use the guidance to develop a workplace policy on domestic violence. åÊ

Victimization in Childhood of Male Sex Offenders: Relationship between Violence Experienced and Subsequent Offenses through Discourse Analysis

This study aims at better understanding how the form of childhood violence experienced and the type of offense subsequently committed affect how sex offenders recall punishments and difficult events. Fifty-four male perpetrators convicted of sexual offenses against children (SOCs) or against adults (SOAs) were interviewed in France, Belgium, and Switzerland using the Lausanne Clinical Interview (Entretien Clinique de Lausanne or LCI). Almost three-quarters of the sex offenders reported having been victimized during childhood. The correspondence analysis identified several factors that differentiated them. Their appraisal of the distressing event, method of coping with and distancing themselves from it, and how they dealt with emotions varied markedly depending on whether they recognized having experienced various forms of violence during childhood and on what type of offense they subsequently committed. Victimization can be identified as much by the events experienced as by their effect on the sex offender's discourse. Identification of these discursive indicators may lead to an improved therapeutic approach for potentially traumatic childhood experiences.
