No / This paper considers the ethical tensions present when engaging in in-depth interviews with convicted sex offenders. Many of the issues described below are similar to those found in other sensitive areas of research. However, confidentiality and public protection are matters that require detailed consideration when the desire to know more about men who have committed serious and harmful offences is set against the possibility of a researcher not disclosing previously unknown sensitive information that relates to the risk of someone being harmed.

The high frequency that this problem is detected in the young population reveals the big proportion that it reachs, constitutioning a serious phenomenon of the public health that yet find strength and legitimation in the daily of the victim s silence, pursued by the shame, guilt and incompetence. This modality of apression, destroy their identities prematurely fragmented. Based in my performance in a governmental institution destinated to the attendment of families in circumstances of risk to the domestic violence, I suggest to encircle the consequences to the subjectivity of children and teenagers victms of physical and sexual abuse caused by the parents or their substitutes. My interest is motivated by the search of the effects from the impigement, with any physical injurie, faced as an ivasion by the young. This distortion in the negative domestic atmosfhere causes damage to the emotional development, to appropriation of a personal identity and to the potential of creativity, establishing states of isolation and affliction without words that are expressed only in acts. This traumatic modality would be decisive when it comes to the deliquential conduct, passing of the profanation of the core from the self and from the hope / Esta pesquisa consiste num esforço de compreensão da problemática do abuso e vitimização intrafamiliar severos e continuados em crianças e adolescentes, na perspectiva psicanalítica. A incidência com que afeta a população infanto-juvenil, revela a dimensão portentosa desta problemática constituindo-se num grave fenômeno de saúde pública, que ainda encontra força e legitimação no cotidiano de silêncio das vítimas, acossadas pela vergonha, culpa e impotência. Esta modalidade de opressão, assola suas identidades prematuramente fragmentadas. A partir de minha atuação em uma instituição governamental, destinada ao atendimento de famílias em circunstâncias de risco para a violência doméstica, proponho-me a circunscrever as conseqüências para a subjetivação de crianças e jovens vítimas de abusos físicos e sexuais perpetrados pelos pais ou seus substitutos. Meu interesse está motivado pela busca dos efeitos de uma modalidade especializada de falha ambiental (os impingements), qual seja a injúria física, vivida como invasão pelo infante. Esta distorção no ambiente doméstico desfavorecedor, é lesiva ao desenvolvimento emocional, à construção e apropriação de uma identidade pessoal, ao potencial de criatividade, instaurando estados de desamparo e de aflição sem palavras, expressos tão somente em atos. Tal modalidade traumática seria determinante na instauração da conduta delinqüencial, esta decorrente da profanação do cerne do self e da esperança

Patriarchal discourse has lead to the marginalisation of women, children and teenagers. The aims of this research were to deconstruct patriarchal discourse; to empower teenagers to speak out for themselves; to facilitate teenagers' identifying, questioning and 'interviewing' of important problems in their lives, and to let teenagers' voices be heard by adults. Post-modern social construction discourse, post-modern and feminist theologies were used to challenge patriarchal discourse. A narrative, pastoral approach was used to assist teenagers to accomplish these aims. Using externalisation, three problems (Depression; Drugs and Alcohol; Verbal, Physical and Sexual Abuse) were exposed for what they really are, and how they influence many teenagers' lives. Alternative stories of how teenagers stand up against these problems were told. The teenagers decided to inform parents and teachers of their lived experiences in three letters. These three interesting, innovative letters are included in this dissertation. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology with specialisation in Pastoral Therapy)
