Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) is an emerging concern in child and adolescent mental health. This article presents an analysis of how child and adolescent psychiatric professionals conceptualize the phenomenon of TFSV in relation to their clinical practice with patients exposed to this type of violence. Through Reflexive Thematic Analysis, we constructed the overarching theme: Our findings are analyzed through the lens of psychiatrization-a societal process that extends the influence of psychiatry, making social issues into psychiatric problems. This research provides critical insights into how the medicalization of TFSV may inadvertently individualize this broader societal issue.
技术助长的性暴力（TFSV）是儿童和青少年心理健康领域一个新出现的问题。本文分析了儿童和青少年精神科专业人员如何根据他们对遭受此类暴力的患者的临床实践来理解TFSV现象。通过反思性主题分析，我们构建了总体主题：我们的研究结果通过精神医学化的视角进行分析——精神医学化是一个社会过程，它扩大了精神病学的影响，将社会问题转化为精神疾病问题。这项研究为TFSV的医学化可能如何不经意地将这个更广泛的社会问题个体化提供了重要见解。
