          Abstract

          O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as características de mães de crianças vítimas de abuso sexual, considerando aspectos como ajustamento emocional, multigeracionalidade e reações maternas frente à revelação. O abuso sexual infantil é considerado um problema de saúde pública e suas conseqüências têm sido foco de interesse de pesquisadores. Entretanto, poucos estudos têm se dedicado a explorar as características maternas envolvidas nesse complexo ciclo de violência. De modo geral, mães de crianças abusadas sexualmente não se configuram como as perpetradoras do abuso, mas de alguma forma encontram-se envolvidas, seja como vítimas ou testemunhas desta situação. Por outro lado, vários fatores influenciam as reações maternas frente à revelação do abuso, tais como a percepção de rede de apoio social e as características de personalidade da mãe, entre outros. Pesquisas têm demonstrado a continuidade da violência entre as gerações, apontando a necessidade de estudos longitudinais sobre o abuso sexual infantil.

          Translated abstract

          The objective of this article is to discuss the characteristics of mothers of children who are victims of sexual abuse, covering aspects such as emotional reconciliation, multigenerational characteristics and maternal reactions to the disclosure. Child sexual abuse is considered to be a public health problem and its consequences have been a focus of interest of many researchers. However, few studies have been devoted to exploring the maternal characteristics involved in this complex cycle of violence. In general, mothers of sexually abused children are not depicted as perpetrators of the abuse, but in some way they find themselves involved, either as victims of or witnesses to this situation. On the other hand, many factors influence the mothers' reactions when faced with the revelation of the abuse, such as the perceptions of the social support service and the mothers' personality traits, amongst others. Research has demonstrated the continuity of violence from generation to generation, pointing to the need for longitudinal studies on child sexual abuse.

            Violência e abuso sexual na família

            Trata-se de relato de experiência de supervisão e atendimento de famílias que sofreram violência intrafamiliar, encaminhadas para atendimento psicológico após denúncia ou suspeita de abuso sexual infantil cometido por parentes próximos. O texto examina essa experiência à luz de reflexões surgidas nessa prática, diante dos conflitos, impasses e dificuldades vividos por profissionais e famílias envolvidos no problema. A abordagem de intervenção aqui proposta tem três características principais: 1) baseia-se no enfoque psicossocial 2) propõe o atendimento familiar conjunto, envolvendo toda a família, inclusive o agressor; e, 3)introduz a perspectiva de gênero, fator historicamente preponderante na construção de relações de violência e dominação-exploração dentro da família.

              Etiology of child maltreatment: A developmental€cological analysis.

              Jay Belsky (1993)
              This article applies a developmental-ecological perspective to the question of the etiology of physical child abuse and neglect by organizing the paper around a variety of "contexts of maltreatment." The roles of parent and child characteristics and processes are considered ("developmental context"), including an examination of intergenerational transmission. The "immediate interactional context" of maltreatment, which focuses on the parenting and parent-child interactional processes associated with abuse and neglect, is analyzed. Finally, the "broader context" is discussed with 3 specific subsections dealing with the community, cultural, and evolutionary contexts of child maltreatment. Implications for intervention are considered and future research directions are outlined.
