This article describes the development of a group-based therapeutic intervention for young people (YP) who have lived with domestic violence and abuse. The intervention was informed by interviews with 107 YP, focused on their experiences of coping, resilience and agency. The intervention draws on resources from systemic, creative and narrative approaches to group work, and aims to facilitate YP's expression of distress in a way that recognizes that it is embodied, contextual and relational. The intervention also explores YP's existing strategies for coping and maintaining a sense of agency, and works to harness, enhance and further develop those skills. We report on the pilot of this intervention, and its development and application across four European countries (the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy and Spain). We outline the goals, strengths and limitations of this group intervention, as well as the main challenges, hindrances and ethical dilemmas experienced by the research and intervention team. Implications for therapeutic practice and training are addressed.
本文描述了一种针对遭受家庭暴力和虐待的年轻人的团体治疗干预方法的开发过程。该干预方法基于对107名年轻人的访谈,重点关注他们的应对、恢复力和能动性体验。该干预方法借鉴了系统、创造性和叙事性团体工作方法的资源,旨在以一种认识到痛苦是身体的、情境的和关系性的方式,促进年轻人表达痛苦。该干预方法还探索年轻人现有的应对和保持能动性的策略,并努力利用、增强和进一步发展这些技能。我们报告了该干预方法的试点情况,以及它在四个欧洲国家(英国、希腊、意大利和西班牙)的开发和应用情况。我们概述了这种团体干预的目标、优势和局限性,以及研究和干预团队遇到的主要挑战、障碍和伦理困境。文中还讨论了对治疗实践和培训的启示。
