In 2010, a shelter programme was established in the Netherlands to provide social and health services for trafficked people. This article describes how service users in this programme conceptualized and experienced their own process of recovery.
In 2012, 14 people of non-Dutch nationality who had been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation were interviewed at all three shelters of the programme. Data analysis followed a grounded theory approach.
Participants felt a strong need to turn over a new leaf in life, leaving negative experiences of the past behind and moving towards a life with a job, a family and friends. In contrast with their willingness to work towards realizing that future, they experienced a lack of autonomy and a thwarted sense of agency in redressing their present situation. Together with the ostracized nature of their place in Dutch society this left them 'in limbo': a feeling of standing still, while wanting to move forward. This led participants to find it more difficult to deal with problems related to their pasts and futures. They particularly appreciated Dutch language training, vocational skills training and opportunities for volunteer work.
Participants exhibited a strong desire to fulfil the basic psychological needs of competence, relatedness and autonomy, but were thwarted in pursuing these goals. Seemingly against all odds, while faced with several external regulators that limited their agency to change their situation, participants found ways to pursue these goals, through their enthusiasm for activities that helped them get closer to their envisioned futures (language and skills training and volunteer work). Identifying pathways toward attaining their goals allowed them to hope for a better future. That hope and pursuing their goals helped them to cope with the problems of their past and their worries about the future. Therefore, to facilitate service users' recovery in a post-trafficking setting, there is a need to provide them with opportunities to hope for, pursue and attain their personal goals within the structural boundaries of their situation. A future-orientated, strengths-based approach towards service provision and responsive and supportive environments help to do this.
2010年，荷兰设立了一项庇护计划，为被贩运者提供社会和健康服务。本文描述了该计划中的服务使用者如何理解并体验他们自身的康复过程。
2012年，在该计划的所有三个庇护所对14名因性剥削目的而被贩运的非荷兰国籍人员进行了访谈。数据分析采用扎根理论方法。
参与者强烈希望翻开人生新篇章，抛开过去的负面经历，迈向有工作、有家人和朋友的生活。与他们为实现未来而努力的意愿形成对比的是，他们在改善当前状况时感到缺乏自主权和代理感受挫。再加上他们在荷兰社会中所处地位的被排斥性质，这使他们处于“困境”之中：一种想前进却停滞不前的感觉。这使得参与者更难应对与他们的过去和未来相关的问题。他们特别赞赏荷兰语培训、职业技能培训和志愿工作机会。
参与者表现出强烈的愿望，希望满足能力、人际关系和自主等基本心理需求，但在追求这些目标时受挫。看似在重重困难面前，尽管面临多个限制他们改变现状的外部制约因素，参与者通过对有助于他们更接近理想未来的活动（语言和技能培训以及志愿工作）的热情，找到了追求这些目标的方法。确定实现目标的途径使他们对更美好的未来充满希望。这种希望和追求目标帮助他们应对过去的问题和对未来的担忧。因此，为了促进服务使用者在被贩运后的环境中康复，有必要在他们所处情况的结构框架内为他们提供希望、追求并实现个人目标的机会。一种以未来为导向、基于优势的服务提供方式以及积极响应和支持性的环境有助于做到这一点。
