Support and Profiles of Nonoffending Mothers of Sexually Abused Children
Cyr, Mireille; McDuff, Pierre; Hebert, Martine
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v22 n2 p209-230 2013
Maternal support offered to sexually abused children following disclosure may be a crucial factor in children's recovery. A person-centered approach was used to examine how profiles of nonoffending mothers could better describe their ability to support their children after disclosure. Cluster analyses based on a total of 226 nonoffending mothers recruited from child protective services yielded four distinctive groups of mothers: resilient, avoidant-coping, traumatized, and anger-oriented reaction. These profiles differed on measures of support, parenting, and variables related to attitude following disclosure. The discussion underscores the relevance of adopting a tailored approach to intervention with mothers of sexually abused children. (Contains 3 tables.)
