A juventude é uma etapa da vida humana também culturalmente marcada por tensões ligadas à sexualidade. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetivou estudar os sentidos sobre o incesto construídos por jovens habitantes da Região Metropolitana do Recife. Tais jovens interlocutoras/es participaram de um grupo de formação chamado Ação Juvenil, ligado ao Projeto Diálogos para o Desenvolvimento Social em Suape. O grupo funcionava com o objetivo de trabalhar questões ligadas à sexualidade, violência de gênero, violência sexual, consumo abusivo de álcool e outras drogas e violência contra a mulher, uma vez que as vulnerabilidades sociais relacionadas a esses temas intensificaram-se na referida região desde a chegada da Refinaria Abreu e Lima. Dessa maneira, em formato de oficinas e a partir da perspectiva teórico metodológica do trabalho com grupos e epistemologia feminista, construímos um espaço que se mostrou privilegiado para lidar com questões ligadas à sexualidade e juventude. O método etnográfico inspirou a relação com o campo que tratou de maneira “espontânea” de aspectos sobre relações sexuais intrafamiliares. Os encontros foram vídeo-gravados, transcritos e posteriormente organizados em categorias analíticas temáticas. Assim, essas categorias foram marcadas pelos sentidos sobre o incesto trabalhados no grupo de jovens, que se atrelaram aos sentidos de abuso sexual intrafamiliar, de noções que questionaram as possibilidades de autonomia na infância e também de ideias ampliadas simbolicamente sobre violência, todas fortemente permeadas pelas desigualdades do sistema sexo/gênero, assim como as relações dentro do próprio grupo, também permeadas por essas desigualdades. Esses sentidos ligados ao incesto atravessados por ideias de violência ligadas às hierarquias de gênero produziram desdobramentos em outros sentidos sobre esse objeto. Esses outros sentidos estiveram, no entanto, pautados em um diferente registro ou sistema de ideias, mais ligados à ordem dos discursos de sexualidade e do erótico do que mesmo ao gênero propriamente dito, ainda que permeados por ele. Dessa forma, as demais categorias ligaram-se aos sentidos do incesto como vício em sexo, atrelados aos discursos científicos e religiosos sobre família e sexualidade, e de arranjos eróticos chamados de "safadezas" entre quem pode ou não pode fazer sexo. Assim, não só pelas relações de desigualdade, como também de possíveis subversões do sistema sexo/gênero atreladas ao marcador geracional juvenil trataram essas categorias. Por fim, o grupo funcionou a partir de sua propriedade interinventiva em que construímos processos marcados por multiplicidades de entradas e saídas, assemelhados a um rizoma, em que foi possível (res)situar os impasses e desenhar linhas de fuga para as relações e sentidos construídos na Pesquisa. / Incest, though not a transcendental taboo and / or universal but contingent, is a sexual practice often silenced as it has been pointed in some studies on Sexuality and Eroticism. Youth is a stage of human life also culturally marked by tensions related to sexuality. Thus, this study investigated the different individual interpretations of incest given by young people in the metropolitan region of Recife. These young interlocutors attended a training group called Youth Action, joined to the Dialogue Project for Social Development in Suape. The group main aims were to work issues related to sexuality, gender-based violence, sexual violence, abuse of alcohol and other drugs and violence against women, as social vulnerabilities related to those issues were intensified in that region since the arrival of the Abreu e Lima Refinery. Thus, promoting workshops based on the methodological theoretical prospect of working with groups, we built up a space that favoured the work with issues regarding sexuality and youth. The ethnographical method contributed to the spontaneous atmosphere, in which, the aspects regarding intra-family sex were approached. The meetings were video-recorded, transcribed and later organized into thematic analytical categories. Thus, these categories were set based on the interpretations about incest which were elicited from the youth group, These are the categories, domestic sexual violence, notions that questioned the possibilities of autonomy in childhood and also ideas symbolically maximized about violence, all strongly permeated by the inequalities of gender system / gender, as well as relations within the group were also permeated by these inequalities. These different meanings given l to incest crossed by ideas of violence related to gender hierarchies produced other perceptions in this study. These other directions were, however, guided in a system registry or different ideas, more related to the speeches regarding sexuality and erotic than the gender itself, although permeated by it. Thus, other categories have been added as sex addiction, related to scientific and religious discourses on family and sexuality and erotic arrangements called "crooked deals" between those who can or cannot have sex. So these categories treated not only the relations of inequality, but also possible subversions of sex system / genre linked to youthful generational marker. Finally, the group worked based on their interventional or inter-inventive actions, in which we went through processes marked by multiplicity and multiple inputs and outputs, like a rhizome in which was possible to (re) situate the impasses among the different meanings given to the incest and the relationships built in the research.

Incest, and the problems arising from it, have increasingly come under the scrutiny of therapists and researchers. All family members are affected by incest and all have been studied. Victims are particularly devastated by sexual abuse by a family member but it is a commonly held belief that having a supportive mother can mitigate the trauma a victim experiences. In this study, girls between the ages of ten and eighteen who were the victims of sexual abuse by a father-figure were compared to a group of girls not thought to be incest victims. The incest victims were divided into two groups, those with supportive mothers and those with non-supportive mothers, with support being defined as belief that sexual abuse occurred and action taken to have the offender leave the home. The Family Concept Inventory was the basis of comparison. Family Effectiveness, the degree to which a test taker's ratings of his or her real and ideal families match professional therapists' ratings of the ideal family, and Family Satisfaction, the comparison of the Real and Ideal Family Effectiveness scores, are obtained from the Inventory. There was no statistically significant difference across the three groups 2 on any of the three measures. However, incest victims with nonsupportive mothers had significantly lower Real Family Effectiveness scores than did incest victims with supportive mothers and the control group. On Family Satisfaction the scores of incest victims with non-supportive mothers were lower than the scores of incest victims with supportive mothers, but this difference was not statistically significant. Incest victims with non-supportive mothers clearly view their families as less effective than do incest victims with non-supportive mothers and non-incest victims. However, they remain attached to their families and in need of them and cannot bear the thought of losing their families. This may explain, in part, the reason there was not a statistically significant difference in Family Satisfaction between the two groups of incest victims.

This study examined the hypothesis that a set of MMPI items could be derived which would discriminate male incest offenders from male alcoholics.

An examination was made of the internal boundaries of families in treatment for father-daughter incest and families in treatment for other concerns. Family boundaries are described as the internal rules that define when and how family members participate within the family. Information was gathered through the use of individual in depth interviews with mothers and daughters from both groups of clinical families. A descriptive narrative about family boundaries was developed using the core category of family rules, with subsidiary categories that included family organization and family communication. Three major themes of awareness, control, and consistency emerged from the data as clinically useful concepts for describing perceptions of family rules. One important finding was that mothers and daughters from both clinical groups were found to be similar in their perceptions of family rules. A major difference between the groups related to marital power and control, with mothers in the incest treatment group reporting less control over family rules prior to the disclosure of abuse and the initiation of treatment than mothers in the control treatment group. The results of the research suggest therapists should avoid stereotyping families who are in treatment for father-daughter incest and focus instead on assessing the unique factors that contribute to a family's vulnerability to incest. The importance of providing emotional and social support for individual family members following the disclosure of father-daughter sexual abuse is also highlighted. / Ph. D.

The purpose of this study has been to investigate how two female volunteers from two different NGOs help and support vulnerable women, who have been exposed to incest. This includes how these abused women and the picture of perpetrators are perceived and described by the volunteers. The study has also examined the collaboration with social services. The study results show that the volunteers within the two NGOs lack cooperation with social services, and that the work with support-seeking women can be perceived as both positive and negative. Positive experience is described by being a volunteer as part of an important change. Negative experience describes the volunteer as painful as it involves listening to, and taking part of these women's self-experienced stories, about their own experiences of incest. The work as a volunteer with support-seeking women, has been shown to offer support in various forms of support groups. The volunteer's task is to listen in these support groups and to confirm what the women seeking assistance are saying. The result has also shown that the women seeking support, are perceived as very afraid and degraded at the beginning of the meeting with the volunteers, but that they at the same time bear strength within themselves. The result also shows a lack of cooperation between the NGOs and social services. This is even though both activities work for the same clientele, which is the women seeking support. / Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka hur två kvinnliga volontärer från två olika frivilligorganisationer hjälper och stöttar kvinnor som har blivit utsatta för incest. Det inkluderar hur dessa utsatta kvinnor och även bilden av förövare upplevs och beskrivs av volontärerna, samt volontärernas samarbete med Socialtjänsten. Studiens resultat visar att volontärerna upplever att arbetet med stödsökande kvinnor kan upplevas som både positivt och negativt. Positiv upplevelse beskrivs genom att som volontär få vara en del av en viktig förändring. Negativ upplevelse beskriver volontären det som smärtsamt, då det innebär att lyssna till, och ta del av dessa kvinnors självupplevda berättelser, kring sina egna erfarenheter av incest. Arbetet som volontär med stödsökande kvinnor har visat sig gå ut på att erbjuda stöd i olika former av stödgrupper. Volontärens uppgift är i dessa stödgrupper att, lyssna samt bekräfta det som stödsökande kvinnor berättar. Resultatet har även visat att de stödsökande kvinnorna upplevs som väldigt rädda och nedbrutna i början av mötet med volontärerna, men att de samtidigt bär på en styrka inom sig själva. Resultatet visar också på ett bristande samarbete mellan frivilligorganisationerna och socialtjänst. Detta trots att båda verksamheterna arbetar för samma klientel, som är de stödsökande kvinnorna.

Incest is described by various models focusing on different factors ranging from pathology to descriptions of the ecosystem in which it takes place. This research presents a theoretical and practical description of father-daughter incest in a family where the father was not removed and includes narratives of all associated systems. Consistent with the postmodern, social constructionist and narrative theories, this study attempts to observe and describe the ensuing process of the incest narrative through the various systems within which it takes place. This process explores people's perceptions of incest, how these are assessed and interpreted, what kind of action they mapped out as a result and the possibility that the abusive narrative is being maintained. Implications for therapy with the incest family are discussed drawing on narrative principles. By utilising an emergent design the experiences and narratives of the family and related systems were permitted to emerge through the research process. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology
