CUNHA, Gabriela Gibson and DUTRA, Elza Maria Do Socorro. A phenomenological view for mothers of child victims of sexual abuse: a literature review. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.103-110. ISSN 1809-6867. https://doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2019v25.10.
This work aims to present a phenomenological look at how mothers of child victims of sexual abuse are represented in the brazilian scientific literature. An integrative literature review was conducted, in which the studies were searched in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) database, which includes other banks such as SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PePsic (Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia) and LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde). We selected 19 articles in the period between 2006 and 2016. It was observed that few studies had the objective of investigating the mothers of victims of child sexual abuse, in addition to a high concentration of this material in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, being the place where the surveys were most performed. Furthermore, no studies were found that contemplated the interface between the subject and the phenomenology. It is pointed out the need for more studies that can contribute to broaden the discussion about the place of the mother in relation to the victimizationof their children.
