Dialogando no Círculo: o devir de uma metodologia para abordar o abuso sexual intrafamiliar

Abstract

This research had the intention of discussing and finding clues for a new methodological approach intended for the professionals working on intrafamilial sexual abuse, as well as sexual abuse by people close to the family, through the articulation of Circle Processes and the Actor-Network Theory, as a possibility for the expansion and renovation of the intervention ways for Children s and Adolescents Rights Guarantee System. In spite of the theme being relevant, we have noticed that children and adolescents sexual abuse is still a taboo in our society, and is treated in a private way without inter-sectors dialogue, even within institutional structures. The delicateness of the subject is due to the combination of the themes: sex, child family and violence. It is a topic that claims for new and complementary theoretical and methodological contributions after the determination that neither the penal system nor the rights guaranteeing system have answers based on attention, care and profound listening of the children so as they can acknowledge and work through their suffering, doubts and varied feelings as subject of rights
