2	Towards a systems-based psychotherapeutic treatment programme for counsellors of abused women Naidoo, Antonette Hannah 06 1900 (has links) A critique of pertinent literature reveals that the majority of theoretical understandings and modes of intervention in the arena of spouse abuse are limited by their adherence to a linear epistemology. It is contended that when intervention efforts are framed solely in linear terms, the abusive couple is perceived within a dichotomous logic of attribution, thereby engendering solutions of dismemberment. It is suggested that an ecosystemic perspective, which is grounded in cybernetics, ecology and systems theory, can offer a means of overcoming the limitations that currently plague helping institutions. Such a perspective expands intervention options as the helper, the helping system(s), the client and the context of the client's problems are viewed as interrelated rather than distinct systems. Some of the interlinked variables which need to be considered when planning an ecosystemic programme for spouse abuse are also presented. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology) 616.8914082 Abused women Counselors Psychotherapy

4	A therapeutic understanding of women suffering through their bodies Fernandes, Paula Alexandra Da Graça Marques 30 November 2004 (has links) This study is concerned with the nature of suffering as experienced by women struggling with problems related to the body. Since the body is viewed to be integral in the formation of a woman's identity and self-concept, any illness, ailment or deficiency associated with it may lead the woman to experience pain and suffering. To explore meanings of personal suffering related to the body three contexts have been chosen. These are familial breast cancer, eating disorders and infertility. Common themes of suffering that were co-constructed in the interviews between six women participants and myself form the basis of this study. These themes emerged through the process of social constructionism and dialogue. Through the process of language, personal realities and meanings were discussed and shared to elicit a greater understanding of the nature of suffering. A qualitative approach, using the case study method, was also adopted to provide rich descriptions of the different experiences with suffering. The case study presentations illustrate the linguistic domain between the participants and myself. It is hoped that the information presented in this study will contribute to a therapeutic understanding of personal suffering as experienced by women. / Psychology / D. Litt et Phil.
