Though the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of survivors of childhood sexual abuse has burgeoned in the last 20 years, relatively little guidance is available in the popular or professional literature to assist clients or therapists about issues of disclosure of this abuse to family members. When authors explicitly focus on disclosure, the timing of such disclosure is usually framed within a psychological and/or interpersonal perspective. In this article, we suggest that attention to characteristics of the sexual abuse narrative itself offers an important additional resource to guide decision making with respect to disclosure. We also describe ways that a narrative approach to disclosure can produce empowering conversational practices. A detailed case example provides the clinical material to illustrate this narrative approach to disclosure.
尽管在过去20年里,关于儿童性虐待幸存者诊断和治疗的文献大量涌现,但大众或专业文献中提供的指导相对较少,无法帮助客户或治疗师处理向家庭成员披露此类虐待行为的问题。当作者明确关注披露问题时,这种披露的时机通常是从心理和/或人际角度来阐述的。在本文中,我们认为关注性虐待叙述本身的特征为指导披露决策提供了一个重要的额外资源。我们还描述了一种叙述性的披露方法如何能够产生增强权能的对话实践。一个详细的案例提供了临床素材,以说明这种叙述性的披露方法。
