The "clarification session" has been implicated as an important component of the treatment of families affected by incest. On the basis of information presented in clinical literature, however, the specific nature of this intervention varies widely. This exploratory study examined the practices and attitudes regarding clarification sessions of select members of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers. Surveys were completed by 483 members. Results indicated that approximately 77% of respondents had experience in conducting clarification sessions. The top two reported reasons for conducting clarification sessions were for the perpetrator to assume all responsibility for the abuse and to decrease the level of self-blame of the victim. The majority of respondents concurred that several activities needed to occur prior to the clarification session, whereas less consensus was indicated for activities that were deemed essential during the clarification session. Respondents' practices, attitudes, and beliefs are discussed in terms of the current state of limited, empirically based knowledge in this area. Directions for future research are suggested.
“澄清会议”被认为是受乱伦影响家庭治疗的一个重要组成部分。然而,根据临床文献中提供的信息,这种干预措施的具体性质差异很大。这项探索性研究调查了性虐待治疗协会部分成员关于澄清会议的做法和态度。483名成员完成了调查。结果显示,约77%的受访者有主持澄清会议的经验。报告的主持澄清会议的前两大原因是让犯罪者承担虐待的全部责任以及降低受害者的自责程度。大多数受访者一致认为在澄清会议之前需要开展几项活动,而对于澄清会议期间被视为必不可少的活动,达成的共识较少。根据该领域目前基于实证的有限知识状况,对受访者的做法、态度和信念进行了讨论。并提出了未来研究的方向。
