Full textDie navorsing ondersoek die opvoedingsnood van die mishandelde kind met die klem op die vennootskap tussen die opvoeder en die mishandelde kind in sy opweg- wees na volwassenheid. Daar word ook gelet op die persepsie van die voorstander van kinderregte van die mishandelde kind se verhouding met homself, ander, idees en dinge en Godfn god binne sy eie leefwereld. Aandag word geskenk aan problematiese opvoedingsgebeure waaraan die kind blootgestel mag word en die invloed wat hierdie gebeure op die onderaktualisering van die psigiese lewe mag he. Die wordingsdoeleindes van die kind onder die opskrifte: betekeniswereld, adekwate self en toebehorenheid word bespreek. Een van die opvoeder se take is onder andere om die kind in staat te stel om homself in die wereld te onenteer sodat hy sy eie leefwereld kan konstitueer. Deur relasies met homself, ander, idees en dinge en Godfn god te vorm, konstitueer hy 'n betekenisvolle leefwereld. 'n Selfgestruktureerde vraelys is as. meetinstrument gebruik. Die opstel, verspreiding en voltooiing daarvan word volledig behandel. Die aanbieding en ontleding van data word bespreek. Waar nodig, word van beskrywende statistiek gebruik gemaak. Uit die analise van die data het dit geblyk dat die mishandelde kind oor die algemeen nie baie gelukkig is nie, hy slaap nie rustig nie en hy neem oor die algemeen 'n aggressiewe houding in en is nie vriendelik nie. 'n Groot aantal het gevoel dat daar nie regtig goed in hulle steek nie en dat hulle die mi~handeling waaraan hulle blootgestel is, verdien. Wat die verhouding met ander betref, het dit geblyk dat daar tog op een van die ouers of versorgers se liefde en ondersteuning staatgemaak kan word, dat daar vertroue in die voorstander van kinderregte is en dat 'n klein persentasie van mishandelde kinders goed met volwassenes oor die weg kom. Oor die algemeen is verhoudings met huidiqe vriende goed. Ongelukkig het dit geblyk dat min mishandelde kinders 'n goeie toekonisperspektief het. Wat die relasiedimensie met Godfn god betref, het min kinders hierdie verhouding as 'n prioriteit in hul lewens gestel. Ter afsluiting word daar enkele aanbevelings aan die hand gedoen: • Oat die ouer/versorger se opvoedings- en onderrigtaak deur aile partye (staat, kerk, skool, ensovoorts) aandag behoort te geniet. • Oat ouers/versorgers - as prirnere opvoeders -van hulle verantwoordelikhede bewus gemaak behoort te word by wyse van werkswinkels, ondersteuning en kommunikasie tussen die skool en die huis. • Oat die kerk as infonnele opvoeder, kinders genoegsaam geestelik onderrig. Die hoop word uitgespreek dat hierdie beskeie bydrae 'n sinvolle bydrae tot die leefwereld van die mishandelde kind sal maak. = During this study research was conducted pertaining to the educational need of the abused child, with the emphasis on the partnership between the educator and the abused child on his way- to maturity- . Attention was also focused on the perception of the Protector of children's rights on the life world of the abused child.. A self-constructed questionnaire was used as measuring instrument. The construction, distribution and completion of the questionnaire were discussed in detail. The presentation and analysis of data was also discussed. Where necessary descriptive statistics were used to analyse data. From the analysis of the data it became clear that the abused child is not a happy child, he does not sleep well, becomes aggressive often and is not very fiiendly. A large number ofabused children were under the impression that they deserved the abuse they had experienced. Regarding the relationship with others, most children indicated that they trusted and i or loved at least one of their parents. They also trusted the Protector of children's rights. Few experienced meaningful relations with adults or a positive perspective on the future. Pertaining to their relationship to God! a god, very few expressed this relationship as a priority. Based on the accumulated findings of the research the following recommendations were made: • That parent's educational responsibilities be recognised by the government, churches and school. • Parents as primary educator's responsibilities should be emphasised by means of . workshops, support groups and meaningful communication between home and school • That the church as informal educator should provide sufficient support to the abused child. It is hoped that this study will make a meaningful contribution towards the life world of the abused child.

Full textChildren react differently to the traumatic incidence of sexual abuse. Some children develop symptomatic behaviours associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in reaction to sexual abuse, such as apathy, which is a form of desensitisation. Others appear less affected by the sexual abuse and may also be regarded as desensitised and possessing resilience. Incongruence thus exists, as the one may be taken incorrectly for the other. Many children enter alternative care settings after being sexually abused, and are cared for by caregivers other than their natural parents. These caregivers interact with the children regularly and their perceptions may provide valuable insight into desensitisation among these children. This study set out to explore caregivers' perceptions on desensitisation among children who had been sexually abused. The study is explorative and descriptive in nature and grounded in a qualitative design. Purposive sampling was used to form three focus groups. The focus group interviews yielded data that was transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis. The findings arrived at were written up, presented and discussed. The findings were recommended to be used to inform social workers and other members of the helping professions on how to approach and interact with caregivers of sexually abused children in the future, and to influence perceptions they might hold. Further recommendations were made to better design and implement future studies.

Full textPhilophonetics Counselling is a modality of counseling and psychotherapy based on Rudolf Steiner’s Psychosopy, created by Yehuda Tagar in the 80’s in England and Australia. It applies the powerful sensory, emotional and psychosomatic responses to the sound of speech-in association with body awareness, movement and visualization-as extensions of the conventional component of the psychotherapeutic interaction (Tagar, 2003; Lifschitz 2002). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Philophonetics Counselling on sexually abused children between the ages of 12 and 17 years. This study was conducted in the Bloemfontein area of Free State and Piet Retief area of Mpumalanga. The nature of the research is concerned with the applicability of the modality to individuals under the age of 18 years, and the individuals’ psychological responsiveness to the modality. Data was collected during and after counseling session, by means of drawings, sound, gestures and movement. Ten (10) individuals participated in the study and the age group of the participants was between 15 and 17 years.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The purpose of the research for this assignment was to establish and provide guidelines as well as techniques according to which social workers, who are involved in family welfare organisations, will be able not only to assess molested children in their middle childhood, but also to plan and introduce the required intervention. To achieve the aforementioned, use was made of a literature survey in terms of which all aspects of sexual molestation that need to be considered whilst handling molested children as well as the phases and processes of assessing such molestations, are discussed. Techniques are also proposed according to which such assessments could be performed. Following this study the empirical research was utilised by means of exploratory and descriptive studies. To obtain the required information, data was collected by means of a postal (mail) questionnaire containing quantitative as well as qualitative questions. This research has shown that social workers do not regard themselves as adequately equipped in handling cases involving sexually molested children. Their (social workers) knowledge and skills in terms of the areas relating to service delivery came across as being poor. The respondents agreed that the shortage of resources restricted the referral of these cases. This results in social workers having to treat such cases themselves. It is apparent that knowledge regarding the handling of molested children is mostly gained by practical experience. Assessments are often carried out without the required theoretical background. This contributes to findings and actions taken not always being scientifically substantiated, resulting in a lack of professional conduct. The study also shows that the training and conduct of social workers, especially as it relates to the assessing of sexually molested children which could lead to statutory action in terms of the Children's Status Act 82 of 1987 (as amended) as well as the Sexual Offences Act 23 of 1957, are lacking. No clear guidelines and policy are stipulated in this instance by the family welfare organisations. Based on the findings of this research the deduction is made that social workers, despite the statutory obligation they have towards a sexually molested child, do not possess the necessary skills or are not equipped with the competence required to execute the task on hand. In this regard social workers have a significant need to learn and be given the required competence, as organisations and tertiary institutions currently do not equip them adequately or effectively. Recommendations relative to the assessment of sexually molested children have been made to tertiary institutions, organisations and social workers. Opportunities for further research are also indicated.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om riglyne en tegnieke voor te stel waarvolgens maatskaplike werkers werksaam by gesinsorgorganisasies gemolesteerde kinders in hulle middelkinderjare kan assesseer en intervensie kan beplan. Om daarin te slaag, is 'n literatuurstudie ondemeem ten opsigte van alle aspekte van seksuele molestering wat in ag geneem moet word in die hantering van gemolesteerde kinders. Die fases en prosesse van assessering word bespreek en tegnieke word voorgestel waarvolgens die assessering gedoen kan word. Daarna is die empiriese ondersoek onderneem deur middel van 'n verkennende en beskrywende studie. Posvraelyste, bestaande uit kwantitatiewe sowel as kwalitatiewe vrae, is benut vir data-insameling. Die navorsing het getoon dat maatskaplike werkers hulleself nie bekwaam ag in die hantering van seksueel gemolesteerde kinders nie. Hulle kennis en vaardighede ten opsigte van die area van dienslewering kom swak voor. Die respondente was dit eens dat 'n tekort aan hulpbronne verwysing van die gevalle bemoeilik, wat meebring dat maatskaplike werkers die gevalle self moet hanteer. Dit is duidelik dat kennis ten opsigte van die hantering van gemolesteerde kinders meestal deur middel van praktykervaring verkry word. Assessering word dikwels sonder die nodige teoretiese agtergrond uitgevoer wat meebring dat bevindinge en optrede nie altyd wetenskaplik verklaarbaar is nie en daartoe lei dat daar 'n tekort aan professionele optrede is. Die navorsing toon voorts dat maatskaplike werkers se opleiding en optrede ten opsigte van die assessering van seksueel gemolesteerde kinders vir statutere optrede ingevolge die Wet op Kindersorg (Wet 74 van 1983 soos gewysig) sowel as die Wet op Seksuele Misdrywe (Wet 23 van 1957) veral tekort skiet. Geen duidelike riglyne en beleid word in die verband deur gesinsorgorganisasies neergelê nie. Na aanleiding van die bevindinge word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat maatskaplike werkers, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle 'n statutêre verpligting teenoor die seksueel gemolesteerde kind het, nie oor die nodige bevoegdheid beskik om die taak uit te voer nie. Maatskaplike werkers toon 'n groot leerbehoefte in die verband, aangesien gesinsorgorganisasies en opleidingsinstellings hulle tans nie genoegsaam toerus nie. Aanbevelings ten opsigte van die assessering van seksueel gemolesteerde kinders word aan opleidingsinstansies, gesinsorgorganisasies en maatskaplike werkers gemaak. Moontlikhede vir verdere navorsing word ook vermeld.
