EXPERIENCING CHILD ABUSE TRAUMA AND RESILIENCY IN A SORORAL GROUP: CLINICAL UNDERSTANDING AND PROJECTIVE PSYCHOLOGY CONTRIBUTION
After reviewing main theories about psychological trauma, we study psychological effects of maltreatment and sibship resilience in three young sisters met in a French special education institution, using a projective methodology (clinical research interviews, Children’s Apperception Test and family drawing). Results show that the traumatism is still active and that sibship resilience did not occur. This research underlines the importance of persistence in the reflection about sibs in state foster care.
