Se trata de una investigación de carácter teórico y exploratorio, que utiliza la revisión documental como técnica de trabajo. Para cumplir con este objetivo, en primer lugar se describe la problemática del abuso sexual, identificando las consecuencias de esta experiencia y aquellos elementos que favorecen la superación de las mismas. En un segundo momento se describe el significado del concepto “reparación” en diversas disciplinas de las ciencias sociales, revisando el uso que se da al término desde las perspectivas jurídica, social y psicológica. Analizando desde una mirada constructivista los diversos significados asignados al concepto en estudio, se concluye que a pese a que la psicoterapia puede tener importantes efectos reparatorios, la aplicación del término al trabajo clínico en casos de abuso sexual resulta poco conveniente. Su fuerte asociación a temas de daño, considerados además irreparables, es contraria a los objetivos de una psicoterapia constructivista que busca abrirse a la esperanza y a las posibilidades de cambio. A partir del análisis realizado, se discuten implicancias para los lineamientos terapéuticos en casos de agresión sexual

Much published work has pointed to the need for the development of a sound operational definition of sexual orientation in order to enable the research in this area to progress. To contribute to this process the current research set out to develop two measures of sexual orientation and examine their psychometric properties. In order to develop relevant tools historical, conceptual and operational definitions of sexual orientation were critically examined and standard questionnaire development techniques applied. The first scale consisted of 32 items and was administered to a total of 835 adolescents, comprising three sub-groups (189 Grade 11 Scholars, 547 First Year and 99 Third Year Psychology Students). A Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.85 was calculated indicating that this instrument had very good internal consistency reliability. Similar factors emerged in each of the sample sub-groups when factor analyses were performed suggesting that this instrument has good external and construct validities. These factors each had respectable Cronbach alpha coefficients indicating their own internal consistency. The four factors which consistently emerged were Same Sex Responsiveness, Opposite Sex Responsiveness, Previous Month’s Same Sex Responsiveness and Previous Month’s Opposite Sex Responsiveness. The second scale consisted of 16 items and was administered to 646 adolescents, comprising the latter two sub-groups referred to above. A Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.82 was calculated indicating that this instrument also had very good internal consistency reliability. Once again similar factors with generally good internal consistency emerged in factor analysis suggesting that this too was a valid instrument. The factors that emerged from the second scale were Same Sex Responsiveness, Unattractive Opposite Sex Responsiveness, Attractive Opposite Sex Responsiveness and Attraction. Future developments, adjustments and applications of the instruments as well as implications for the arena of sexual orientation research are discussed. In the light of the dearth of information with regard to the sexual orientations of South African adolescents the current study also briefly explored and presented the sample’s responses in terms of the dimensions of each questionnaire as well as how each emerging factor related to the demographics (education level, gender, sexual orientation self-label and age) of the sample.

The aim of this study was twofold: 1) to educate and inform the student population about sexual harassment, and 2) to evaluate which one of two different training programs would be more effective in increasing awareness of sexual harassment on campus. A pre-test post-test group design was implemented. A sample of students (N=132) living in 14 different Rhodes university residences participated in the study on a voluntary basis. Subjects were divided into two groups. Group 1, participated in a workshop based upon a video entitled One man's meat is another man's poison, produced by the University of Cape Town. Group 2, was subjected to a more passive educational method where the video was played from beginning to end without any interruption. Awareness of sexual harassment was operationalised in terms of the subjects' attitudes towards sexual harassment, their perceptions of sexual harassment, and their sexual harassment myths. Results suggested a significant relationship between participation in the training programs and a change in awareness of sexual harassment, as measured by the changes in the pre-test and post-test scores. Results also suggested that males benefit most by simply viewing the video, while females benefit most by workshopping the same video. / KMBT_363 / Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

Magister en Psicología, mención Psicología Clínica Infanto Juvenil / La presente investigación pretende comprender el cambio en psicoterapia en casos de altas terapéuticas de niños/as que han sido víctimas de agresiones sexuales, desde las narrativas de los/as psicólogos/as tratantes. Se llevó a cabo una investigación de carácter cualitativo, que consistió en la construcción de narrativas por parte de los/as psicólogos/as que han intervenido con niños/as que han sido víctimas de agresiones sexuales. Se utilizaron entrevistas en profundidad y un grupo focal, los cuales fueron analizados desde un marco de análisis narrativo y de contenido respectivamente. A partir de los resultados de este estudio, se destaca la conceptualización del cambio terapéutico en niños/as que han sido víctimas de agresiones sexuales, como un proceso que implica una transformación global del sí mismo y su entorno, ligada a la resignificación de la experiencia abusiva, promoviendo el desarrollo, crecimiento y fortalecimiento de éstos/as, al hacer sentido a esta vivencia. Este cambio se desarrolla en un proceso progresivo, que implica tres momentos y en el cual el/a terapeuta se ve involucrado. Asimismo, los/as participantes destacan que la terapia y la figura del/a psicólogo/a favorecerían el cambio en psicoterapia, mientras que, por el contrario, las políticas públicas lo dificultarían. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados, desde las mismas narrativas de los/as psicólogos/as, aportando herramientas teórico prácticas a la labor clínica psicológica infantil que podrán tener alcances en las políticas públicas

Para que isto ocorra de forma significativa para o aluno é preciso atentar para a formação do educador que será o responsável pelo envolvimento de toda a escola, neste processo. o presente trabalho enfoca esta formação tendo como referência o trabalho que vem sendo desenvolvido junto a escolas da rede municipal de educação de Campinas e de outras cidades brasileiras. Os caminhos pelos quais passou a construção deste espaço de formação são identificados: a garantia da continuidade do processo, a construção do grupo de referência, a possibilidade de falar, de constatar a existência das diferenças sempre tendo os acontecimentos da sala de aula como mola propulsora. Permeadas pelos relatos dos professores reflexões foram construí das, tendo como alicerce conceitos da aprendizagem, da sexualidade, da construção do desejo, da singularidade e do espaço da intimidade / Abstract: Sexual Orientation is an expanding reality today with Schools becoming aware of its importance and beginning to integrate this activity in their structure. In order to guarantee a meaningful Sexual Orientation to students, it is essential to concentrate on the preparation of educators, who will be responsible for the involvement of the School as a whole, in this educative process This study focused on a Sexual Orientation project that has been developed in Schools run by the Education Department of Campinas City and at other Brazilian cities. The preparation of school teachers has gone through different processes, but it was always founded on activities developed in the classroom with students. These processes were identified as: guarantee of continuity, creation of a reference group, opportunity to talk openly, realization that differences do exist. An analysis was performed on statements given by these teachers during interview sessions, using as theoretical support concepts related to learning processes, sexuality, construction of desire, singularity, and space of intimacy / Mestrado / Metodologia do Ensino / Mestre em Educação

South African organisations face increasing diversification of the workforce, with the concomitant benefits and potential challenges thereof. Along with the traditional approaches towards the management of diversity, less conventional areas have yet to be explored within the South African context. One such area is that of sexual attraction in the workplace. With the growing need for organisations to become employers of choice, to create organisational competitive advantage and optimally leverage their human capital it is becoming evident that acknowledgment of innate humanity is essential. The question under exploration was to determine what the perceptions surrounding the prevalence and effects of sexual attraction in the South African workplace are. Employees are human beings, human beings are essentially sexual in nature and therefore it can be said that sexuality and all its composite elements are present in and acting upon organisations. The researcher focused exclusively on self-reported perceptions and experiences surrounding this phenomenon in the workplace, including its perceived effects on productivity; communication; job performance; job involvement; job satisfaction, stress; sexual harassment; morale; the individual and the workgroup. In addition the perceived roles of management in regulating sexual attraction as well as potential perceived motives underlying its initiation in organisations were also explored. The research explored and described differences with regards to these areas of organisational life in respect of age groups; gender; marital status; relationship status; experience of sexual attraction; awareness of sexual attraction and workplace rendezvous experiences. A self-administered questionnaire was designed specifically for the study by the researcher and was used to gain feedback from 155 respondents in numerous fields and organisations through a mixed methods sampling technique. Analysis of data was statistical in nature, including detailed descriptive or frequency distributions; correlations and inferential statistics. The research yielded substantial results with regards to perceptions of sexual attraction in the South African workplace, with numerous implications for management and Human Resource practitioners abounding. Sexual attraction in the workplace is perceived to be a prevalent organisational condition amongst respondents with findings revealing that it is viewed as inevitability in the workplace. Personal experience of sexual attraction was alluded to by the majority of respondents. In addition, various organisational factors, such as proximity, similarity and ongoing work requirements were confirmed as having a perceived influence on the prevalence of sexual attraction amongst co-workers. This linked with findings and existing research with regards to aspects of diversity in the workplace, particularly similarity of moral values. In line with the body of literature, elements underlying sexual attraction were divergent, indicating that attraction is individual specific. Younger respondents indicated that they found physical elements of their co-workers attractive, which was less the case for the older respondent group. When evaluating findings on the perceived effects of sexual attraction in the workplace it was evident that respondents felt that sexual attraction had a slight positive effect on productivity. Significant differences were observed between age groups as well as personal experience of sexual attraction on this construct. Interestingly, sexual attraction was perceived to have a positive effect on job involvement by respondents, with differences observed due to age groups and amongst individuals whom had been previously sexually attracted to a colleague and those whom had not. Gender differences were also observed herein, with females having higher perceived positive effects on job involvement. Job satisfaction was perceived to be positively affected by sexual attraction in the workplace by respondents. Significant differences between age groups as well as with regards to marital statuses and relationship statuses were also found with regards to this construct. Mixed perceptions existed around the influence of sexual attraction on the experience of stress, with a respondents age group found to have an influence thereon. In addition thereto, a respondent’s marital status also made a difference in this regard. Generally the findings concurred with the available literature on the topic. Moreover, the general affects of sexual attraction on the individual involved in this workplace dynamic were fairly positively perceived by respondents. This finding was evidenced to be influenced to some extent by respondents’ experience of prior sexual attraction to a colleague; age; relationship status and marital status. The latter was found to have the largest influence in this regard. Sexual attraction was perceived by respondents to have a negative effect on communication and job performance. The perception of the latter was found to be significantly different between individuals whom had been aware of sexual attraction in the workplace and those whom had not indicated that this was the case; as well as with respondents whom reported prior sexual attraction to a colleague having higher perceived positive influences thereof on job performance. Age was also found to be an influential factor on perceptions surrounding job performance. Morale was found to be slightly negatively affected due to sexual attraction according to reported perceptions of respondents. The majority of respondents were inclined to feel that sexual harassment is an important organisational issue, yet the effects of sexual attraction thereupon may not be as negative as one might have thought. Prior sexual attraction to a colleague was found to have an influence on respondent perceptions of sexual harassment, as did the length of marriage for married respondents. Most respondents perceived sexual attraction to have more of a negative effect on the workgroup surrounding the sexually attracted individuals. Influencing variables in this regard were respondent age and marital status. In addition, motives underlying sexual attraction were negatively perceived by respondents. Marital status was found to have an influence on respondent perceptions of sexual attraction motives. Findings revealed that respondents in general felt that management has some form of role to play in the regulation of this workplace dynamic. However, the vast majority of respondents felt that it was the responsibility of the individual employee to manage their own sexual attraction in the workplace. Differences in this perception were found between males and females; age groups as well as the length of marriages of married respondents. The research established that sexual attraction is a prevalent condition in South African organisations. Moreover, substantial effects of sexual attraction were reported on various important areas of organisational functioning. Copyright 2009, University of Pretoria. All rights reserved.

archives@tulane.edu / According to the definition developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011, sexual health is an innate part of a person’s overall health and includes multiple dimensions of a person: physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual. As sexual health is an intrinsic part of a person’s health, understanding and improving it is important for a one’s quality of life and general well-being. However, despite high STI rates among college students in the United States (US), international students attending universities in the US have been neglected in the realms of scientific and programmatic research, making it difficult to understand their risks for negative sexual health outcomes, their sexual health needs, and their requirements for effective sexual health promotion programs. This dissertation is divided into three papers that addressed different aspects of international students and their sexual health outcomes. First, a comprehensive literature and programmatic review was conducted. There were 30 studies that were included in the analysis, and they found risk factors similar to domestic students, a number of barriers to accessing sexual health care, and some protective factors. The programmatic review covered the top 10 universities with the most international students enrolled and found no sexual health promotion programs focused on international students although they did have general programs for all students. The second paper described the implementation, analysis and results of the online international students’ sexual health survey at Tulane. The survey found moderate knowledge levels moderate levels of sexual permissiveness, discomfort with contraception and testing, conservative attitudes towards risky sexual behavior, and a number of sexual risk behaviors, such as inconsistent contraceptive use and participating in one-night stands. The last paper discussed an online-based sexual health promotion program for Tulane University international students developed based on the findings of the first and second paper. The program will be led by peer sexual health educators on a forum that includes static sexual health information along with interactive discussions of specific sexual health topics each week for six weeks. These topics are general sexual and reproductive health, STIs and prevention, pregnancy and prevention, healthy relationships, sexual health resources, and sexual violence on campus. / 1 / Chia-Chen Chang

Bibliography: leaf 143-164. / In providing a guide for the use of lay counsellors or professional helpers in assisting the sexually assaulted woman, the importance of understanding the social context in which the assault occurs is emphasised as fundamental in aiding the woman to recover with minimal after-effects in a relatively brief time. The subjective experience of the woman is described, attention being paid to the wide range of sexually assaultive experiences which can occur, with varying effects. The two main elements involved are intimidation (or violence) and bodily intrusions with sexual connotations, in varying combinations. Using the crisis intervention model as framework, because of its accessibility to a wide range of helpers, and its relevance to the acute stress reaction following assault, the psychological effects and practical issues which affect the woman and her important social support networks are outlined. The therapeutic intervention is described, paying attention to helper-related issues, the problems of the woman herself and the likely problems for her significant others. The aim is to facilitate the woman's resumption of pre-crisis levels of psychosocial functioning by providing appropriate supportive understanding, anticipatory guidance and practical information, and facilitating the woman's own adaptive strategies, making use of all available resources, to maximise her recovery potential. Situations in which crisis intervention strategies are inadequate are described to enable the helper to make decisions regarding referral of the woman for more skilled and intensive therapeutic intervention; this too, must take cognisance of the social context of sexual assault. Recommendations are made regarding further research, and the development of existing, and of new facilities to aid the sexually assaulted woman and to reduce the incidence and traumatic after-effects of these encounters. Finally, case material is appended to illustrate the themes discussed.
