Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The sexual abuse of boys is regarded as a worldwide problem. Even in South Africa the sexual abuse of boys is described as an epidemic that as the social work phenomenon of women as perpetrators, can no longer be seen as rare. Although legislation, The South African Children’s Act, 38 of 2005 (2006) and The Sexual Offences Amendment Act, 32 of 2007, have contributed to a greater awareness with regards to the boy as victim of sexual abuse, there still is a lot of misconceptions with regards to the boy as victim of sexual abuse. A need for formal scientific research with regards to this problem was therefore identified and lead to the conducting of this study. Focusing on the sexual abuse of the boy in middle childhood was the purpose of this study, because the middle childhood is seen as the most vulnerable developmental phase for the boy to be sexually abused in. Social workers play a primary role in the prevention, early intervention, intervention and after care in this regard. This study was aimed at determining social workers’ opinions on the sexual abuse of boys in middle childhood. The purpose of the study was met through the five goals that were determined. The goals of the study were to discuss the middle childhood as developmental phase within a human developmental perspective and to describe the sexual abuse of boys as social work phenomenon, in order to develop insight with regards to the sexual abuse of boys. Goals determined for the purpose of this study also included the discussion of the sexual abuse of boys as social work phenomenon, focusing on the definition of sexual abuse, inclining factors to sexual abuse, the types of sexual abuse and the context and motivation for sexual abuse of boys. To discuss the different types of perpetrators in the sexual abuse of boys and to investigate the motivations of perpetrators with regards to the sexual abuse of boys were also goals that were determined. This study’s goals were also to investigate the opinions of social workers with regards to the sexual abuse of boys in middle childhood and to make recommendations regarding the promoting of social work service delivery to the sexually abused boy. The literature study that was undertaken builds a foundation for the problem of the sexual abuse of the boy in middle childhood to be seen, within the right context. An explorative and descriptive study was conducted with twenty seven social workers in the Western Cape, Olifantsrivervalley area as geographical area. Semi-structured questionnaires were used for data collection. The results were purposefully processed and analyzed according to a qualitative- and quantitative research method. The empirical study’s findings enabled the researcher to come to certain conclusions. Using the literature study, the empirical study, findings and conclusions that followed on that, recommendations could be made to social workers in order to promote social work service delivery to the sexually abused boy in middle childhood.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die seksuele mishandeling van seuns word as ‘n wêreldwye probleem beskou. Ook in Suid- Afrika word die seksuele mishandeling van seuns as ‘n epidemie beskryf wat net soos die maatskaplike werk verskynsel van vroue oortreders, nie meer as raar beskou kan word nie. Alhoewel wetgewing soos Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kinderwet, 38 van 2005 (2006), asook Die Wysigingswet op die Strafreg (seksuele misdrywe en verwante aangeleenthede), 32 van 2007, bygedra het tot ‘n groter bewustheid van die seun as slagoffer van seksuele mishandeling, bestaan daar steeds baie wanbegrippe ten opsigte van die die seun as slagoffer van seksuele mishandeling. ‘n Behoefte aan formele wetenskaplike navorsing met betrekking tot hierdie probleem is geïdentifiseer met die gevolg dat hierdie studie onderneem is. Vir die doel van hierdie studie is daar gefokus op die seksuele mishandeling van die seun in sy middelkinderjare, aangesien die middelkinderjare as die mees weerloosste ontwikkelingsfase beskou word vir die seun om seksueel mishandel te word. Maatskaplike werkers speel ‘n primêre rol in die voorkoming, vroeë intervensie, intervensie en nasorg in hierdie verband. Hierdie studie het daarom ten doel gehad om maatskaplike werkers se sienings oor die seksuele mishandeling van seuns in die middelkinderjare te bepaal. Die doel van die studie is bereik na aanleiding van vyf doelwitte wat gestel is. Die doelwitte van die studie was om die middelkinderjare as ontwikkelingsfase binne ‘n menslike ontwikkelingsperspektief te bespreek en om die seksuele mishandeling van die seun as maatskaplike werk verskynsel te verduidelik ten einde begrip met betrekking tot die probleem van seksuele mishandeling van seuns te ontwikkel. Doelwitte wat gestel is ten einde die doel van die studie te bereik, het onder andere behels om seksuele mishandeling van seuns as maatskaplike werk verskynsel te beskou, deur te fokus op die definiëring van seksuele mishandeling, aanleidende faktore tot seksuele mishandeling, die vorme van seksuele mishandeling en die konteks en motivering van seksuele mishandeling van seuns. Om die verskillende tipes oortreders in die seksuele mishandeling van seuns te bespreek en om ondersoek in te stel na die motiverings van oortreders ten opsigte van die seksuele mishandeling van seuns, was ook as doelwit gestel. Hierdie studie se doelwitte was ook om ‘n ondersoek te doen na die sienings van maatskaplike werkers ten opsigte van die seksuele mishandeling van seuns in die middelkinderjare en om aanbevelings te maak ten opsigte van die bevordering van maatskaplike werk dienslewering aan die seksueel mishandelde seun. Die literatuurstudie wat gedoen is het ‘n fondasie geskep om die probleem van die seksuele mishandeling van die seun in sy middelkinderjare, in die regte konteks te kan beskou. ‘n Verkennende en beskrywende studie is gedoen en het sewe-en-twintig maatskaplike werkers in die Wes-Kaap, Olifantsriviervallei area as geografiese gebied ingesluit. Semigestruktureerde vraelyste is benut om inligting in te samel. Die resultate was volgens ‘n kwalitatiewe- en kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetode verwerk en geanaliseer. Die empiriese ondersoek se bevindinge het die navorser in staat gestel om sekere gevolgtrekkings te maak. Na aanleiding van die literatuurstudie, die empiriese ondersoek, die bevindinge en die gevolgtrekkings wat daarop gevolg het, kon aanbevelings gemaak word aan maatskaplike werkers ten einde die maatskaplike werk dienslewering aan die seksueel mishandelde seun in sy middelkinderjare te bevorder.

The present study has the title: "Men don't cry: the sexual abuse against boys". In Brazil, in 2012, it was registered 10425 cases of sexual abuse against children and youngsters, where 8677 were against girls. In the majority of cases the perpretator of the abuse is a male and from the trust circle of the child. The diference between male victims and female victims is very obvious and the perpetrators - in their majority - are men. Why do we study boys as victims? The invisibility of boys in the context of sexual victimisation called our attention and became the focus of this research. Some cultural factors corroborate for the boys' sexual victimisation concealing, such as: the understanding of the fact with naturality comprehending the event as "man's thing"; the heritage of resistance and male virility, by mean of which hide what happened, by fear of social reprisal and of futures questioning about the victim's masculinity. The study's objective consisted in investigate the consequences of the sexual abuse for the boy and analise the repercussion of the sexual violence against the man/boy in the familiar convivence and communitarian. Of qualitative nature, we performed profound interviews with three boys and a man that experienced sexual abuse, two mothers and one victimised boy's carer. The research's results revealed different meanings atributed to the suffered sexual abuse, according to trajectory and the experiences of each subject. The homossexuality fear developed from sexual abuse was present in some interviewed's speech, as well as the reproduction of the abuse. Several historical advances through the action of different social movements have gained a solid agenda about the topic in general agenda of public policy. However, the cultural transformation that can alter the rigidity of genres is still a challenge to be pursued, as well as advance our understanding of sexuality in its human dimension and authorization to talk about it, without configurating other violence for this
O presente estudo tem por título: Homem não chora: o abuso sexual contra meninos . No Brasil, em 2012, foram registrados 10425 casos de abuso sexual contra crianças e jovens, sendo 8677 deles contra meninas. Na maioria dos casos o autor do abuso é do sexo masculino e do círculo de confiança da criança. A diferença entre as vítimas femininas e masculinas é gritante e os autores - em sua maioria - são homens. Por que estudar os meninos como vítimas? A invisibilidade do menino no contexto de vitimização sexual chamou nossa atenção e se tornou foco desta pesquisa. Alguns fatores culturais corroboram para o ocultamento da vitimização sexual do menino, tais como: a compreensão do fato com naturalidade entendendo o evento como coisa de homem ; a herança da resistência e da virilidade masculina, por meio da qual se esconde o ocorrido, por medo de represálias sociais e de questionamentos futuros sobre a masculinidade da vítima. O objetivo do estudo consistiu em perquirir as consequências do abuso sexual para o menino e em analisar a repercussão da violência sexual contra o homem/menino na convivência familiar e comunitária. De natureza qualitativa, realizamos entrevistas aprofundadas com três meninos e um homem que vivenciaram o abuso sexual, duas mães e uma cuidadora de meninos vitimizados sexualmente. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram diferentes sentidos atribuídos ao abuso sexual sofrido, conforme a trajetória e as vivências de cada sujeito. O medo da homossexualidade desenvolvida a partir do abuso sexual se fez presente em alguns discursos dos entrevistados, bem como o da reprodução do abuso. Diversos avanços históricos por meio da ação de diferentes movimentos sociais conquistaram uma pauta contínua sobre a temática na agenda geral da política pública. Contudo, a transformação cultural capaz de alterar a fixidez dos gêneros ainda é um desafio a ser perseguido, assim como o avanço na compreensão da sexualidade em sua dimensão humana e a autorização para falar sobre ela, sem que para isso tenha que configurar-se outra violência

Full textThe aim of this doctoral dissertation was to investigate the possible dynamics of sexual violence against boys. The dissertation is composed of three articles: an article proposing a conceptual integrative model of the dynamics of sexual violence against children; an empirical article regarding the evaluation of partnerships with assistance networks developed for data collection; and an empirical article with the results of the study on the dynamics of sexual violence against boys. Participants were four boys victims of sexual violence and four psychologists of assistance networks. The results showed a lower visibility of sexual violence against boys, the influence of social standards of masculinity, and the lack of professional specialization for delivering intervention for the victims. A greater comprehension of sexual violence against boys is necessary for the implementation of more effective intervention strategies adapted to the needs of boy victims.

Full textThis work aimed to adapt and assess a cognitive-behavioral intervention model for boys who are victims of sexual violence that was derived from a model that evaluated girls. The master thesis consists of a theoretical article about sexual violence against boys; a chapter describing the process of adapting the model; a report on the experience of producing and using the documentary about sexual violence against boys while applying the adapted model; and an article with the results from this application. Three boys between the ages of eight and 16 who had been victims of sexual violence were evaluated, through psychological instruments before and after the intervention, in terms of symptoms common to sexual violence victims. Three independent judges evaluated the application of the adapted model through six indicators. The evaluations of the participants’ symptoms as well as of the adapted model’s application provide initial proof of therapeutic effectiveness.

Full textChild sexual abuse is a deep social concern in South Africa. Its impact affects all areas of development, which warrants a need for appropriate therapeutic intervention. Despite a need for such an intervention, many children, especially boys from disadvantaged African communities, are still without such services. This made me wonder, as an intern-Educational Psychologist, how to help such children. In my search to help them I found that available literature does not document sexual abuse among boys, especially from disadvantaged African communities. Instead it focuses on sexual abuse among girls, women and men. Hence, this study was proposed. The aim of this study is to describe and explore, from an Educational Psychology perspective, the life stories of boys who have been sexually abused. The study presents an in-depth exploration of how the five boys in the research group made meaning of their experiences with sexual abuse. The qualitative research paradigm with a phenomenological design was followed in this study. Data was mainly collected through Narrative Therapy sessions and other complementary methods. In analyzing data, the narrative method of data analysis categorical content mode, was followed. The findings were presented as metaphorical stories, which include: The story of ‘The Rubbish’, “it mixes up my mind” and “it tears what you like”. The conclusion was that boys who have been sexually abused can be aided in their healing process through psychotherapy. Therefore, further research should be done on an appropriate psychotherapy approaches for boys who have been sexually abused and as well as on strategies to encourage the boys to report the abuse immediately. The findings of this study may be helpful to educational psychologists and other therapists working with boys who have been sexually abused.

Full textSurvivors of child sexual abuse experience a lot but various challenges in their everyday lives. The overall aim of the study was to describe the experiences of male adult survivors of child sexual abuse at Ga-Matlala, Limpopo Province. The study objectives were to identify types of child sexual abuse cases at Ga- Matlala uperpetrated prior 1994; to determine how adult male survivors of child sexual abuse handle their life problems; to describe the social impact of child sexual abuse on male adult survivors; and to recommend appropriate professional intervention to male adult survivors of child sexual abuse. The study utilised descriptive research design. The data was collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews from three (3) survivors of child sexual abuse who were sexually abused prior 1994 who are residing at Ga-Matlala area. The sample consisted of survivors of child sexual abuse drawn from the database of Bakone Tribal Council compiled and administered pre 1994. A thematic analysis method was selected. Thematic analysis organises and describes data set in detail. The data was analysed in eight steps.Ethical considerations such as voluntary participation, permission to conduct the study, anonymity, confidentiality and no harm to respondents were considered.The researcher found that two survivors indicated to be having abilities to resolve their personal problems while one participant has indicated to be having problems in resolving his personal problems. All three survivors indicated to be engaged in an intimate relationships. All there survivors indicated to have had experienced child sexual abuse more than once and they also indicated to have had experienced more than one type of sexual abuse. Two participants out of three survivors had not reported of imitating what they experienced while one has adopted the lifestyle but he is not doing it with children like it was done to him. All survivors indicated to have forgiven their perpetrators. All of survivors indicated that their childhood experience had a negative impact in their childhood lives and it still has a negative influence in their adult life. All three survivors indicated to have not accessed professional assistance in their childhood even during their participation in the study they have not yet accessed professional intervention towards their past traumatic experience. However, all three survivors acknowledged the fact that post traumatic intervention is important to their personal growth with regard to finding closure, gaining confidence and finding coping strategies that will be helpful in facing their personal problems with an open mind and positivity of finding solutions without tracing their childhood past into it. The researcher concluded that all the participants of the study had experienced different kinds or types of child sexual abuse and it has negatively impacted them. Being involved in an intimate relationship was not difficult for the survivors as all of them were engaged in intimate relationships. All three survivors need to access professional help for them to overcome the impact of their past child sexual abuse experience. There is a huge difference/gap regarding the previous findings and the current findings mainly because most of the previous studies were European based than African Based (South Africa) and it was also showing a gap between European based Theories and African based theories when dealing with child sexual abuse. The main recommendation that the researcher had was to motivate the survivors to participate in the process of accessing professional help to enable them to deal with their current lives without tracing everything back to their childhood.

The theoretical basis of the thesis compromises an exposition of Jungian theory, and a discussion of the sexual abuse of boys. In the exposition of Jungian theory, the psychodynamics aspects of the psyche are elucidated and graphic illustrations of the structural components thereof are provided. The developmental phase of the boy is addressed, with emphasis on the role of the family in his development. In the discussion of the therapeutic process, specific focus is placed on the utilisation of the serial drawing model. The focal point of the description of sexual abuse of boys comprises the presentation of the short-term consequences within a multimodal framework. The definition and types of sexual abuse, as well as the making known thereof and the factors which intensify the trauma of sexual abuse, are also addressed. Two case studies are presented as empirical data. In each case study, drawings are discussed by means of photographs after the presentation of background information concerning each respondent.
