Statutêre assessering van kinderslagoffers van kriminele seksuele gedrag: 'n Gestaltterapeutiese riglyn

Gestalt play therapy court
assessment / Child victim / Sexual crime / Legal professionals / Assessment guideline / Intermediary / Text in Afrikaans / As a source of information the court needs to be convinced of the witness's
credibility and the ability to recall and communicate the truth regarding the
Incident. Mostly the court uses the expertise of an expert witness to assist it in
making a decision regarding the way in which a child needs to testify in court.
Experts in this field are challenged to align the legal requirements with those of
their field of expertise.
In this research the Gestalt therapeutic approach is used to design an
assessment guideline to assist experts to assess the ability of child victims of
sexual crimes to testify in court. The Gestalt therapeutic approach focuses on
the present (here and now) and has the ability to obtain access to the information
present in the child's life.
In the proposed assessment guideline certain Gestalt play therapy methods are
recommended to assist the expert to assessing the child victim of a sexual
crime. / Play therapy / M.Diac. (Play therapy)
