SOUZA, Gledson Wilber de  and  MACEDO, Shirley. Intervention group with parentes of children victims of sexual violence. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.3, pp. 265-274. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2018v24n3.1.

This phenomenological-intervention research had as its main objective understanding the experience of being a parent of a child victim of sexual violence, seeking to re-signify reality and the elaboration of coping strategies. In three one-and-a-half-hour weekly meetings, five parents and the researcher themselves recorded the meaning of their experiences and encounters in Sense Version (SV). With the possession of all SVs, it was possible that the present suffering in the employees' lives is related to a slowness between denouncing the abuse and completing legal procedures. The process led the employees to change in modes of subjectivation, mainly due to the enlargement of the vision about themselves, which resulted in a re-signification of their own life history and the construction of future projects. In addition to the opportunity to minimize their suffering by sharing it with others, they have created strategies of coping with reality: to build social bonds to share their experiences, talk about their own suffering and take care of themselves. It was mainly concluded that the practice of the meetings was absorbed by the collaborators as a strategy of self-care, and the embracement offered must focus on them beyond the condition of parents of victims of sexual violence.
