OBJECTIVE: To identify demographic and clinical correlates associated with therapists' countertransference feelings on the first visit of women victims of sexual violence. METHOD: Forty patients were seen by 26 therapists, during 2 consecutive years, at the Center for the Study and Treatment of Psychological Trauma, Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre , Brazil. After the first visit with the patient, the therapist completed the Assessment of Countertransference Scale and the patient was evaluated with the Davidson Trauma Scale, the Standardized Assessment of Personality - Abbreviated Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Defense Style Questionnaire. RESULTS:The therapists showed a predominance of feelings of closeness (Mean = 5.42, SD = 1.25) in relation to the feelings of indifference (Mean = 1.82, SD = 1.22) and distance (Mean = 1.57, SD = 1.08) [p < 0.001]. Multivariate analyses did not present significant associations between countertransference feelings and clinical characteristics of patients. The gender of the therapists did not influence the pattern of countertransference feelings. In the subgroup of female therapists, we detected an inverse correlation between a higher probability of patients' personality disorders and feelings of closeness in the therapists. CONCLUSION: We did not detect a differential pattern of countertransference feelings associated with specific clinical characteristics. Therapists of both genders presented a similar pattern of feelings of empathy towards women victims of sexual violence, although the gender of the therapist may moderate the feelings evoked by patients with increased likelihood of personality disorders.

Objetivo: analisar o acesso e a utilização das práticas de saúde prestada a 40 mulheres em situação de violência sexual em um serviço público de saúde de referência na Paraíba. Método: estudo documental descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, realizado em um serviço público do Estado da Paraíba de referência para assistência às mulheres em situação de violência sexual. Resultados: em 39% dos casos a frequência maior das agressões predominou nas mulheres de classe social de baixa renda, entre 10 - 20 anos e 20% se encontravam grávidas no momento da agressão. As maiores vítimas foram mulheres negras (72%). O tipo de violência sexual mais empregado foi o estupro (59%). Além da demora em iniciar o atendimento e realizar exames, a profilaxia AIDS e anticoncepção de emergência, em 69% das notificações não foram registradas. Conclusão: Estes aspectos revelam o racismo e as precárias condições de saúde das mulheres negras, sugerindo uma possível não valorização por parte dos profissionais, semelhante ao que ocorre em outros espaços sociais na nossa sociedade. Descritores: violência sexual; desigualdades étnico-raciais; atenção à saúde; direitos humanos e sociais.

Epidemiological Profile

Abstract Objective To characterize the sociodemographic profile of women victims of sexual violence treated at a university hospital in southern Brazil. Method The present cross-sectional study included all female victims of sexual violence who attended the sexual violence unit at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA, in the Portuguese acronym) from April 18, 2000 to December 31, 2017. Data were extracted from the electronic record of the patients and stored in a standardized questionnaire database with epidemiological aspects of the victim, the perpetrators and the type of aggression. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-squared test for trend and descriptive statistics with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results During the length of the study, 711 women victims of sexual violence were treated. The mean age of the patients was 24.4 (±10) years old (range from 11 to 69 years old) and most of the victims were white (77.4%), single (75.9%) and sought care at the unit within 72 hours after the occurrence (80.7%). In most cases, violence was exerted by a single perpetrator (87.1%), who was unknown in 67.2% of cases. Victims < 19 years old showed a higher risk of not using contraception (relative risk [RR] = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.9–3.6). Conclusion Most victims of sexual violence were treated within 72 hours of the occurrence. The majority of these victims were white and young, and those < 19 years old had a higher risk of not using contraception and to know the sexual perpetrator.

The Church

This article is a feminist liturgical imagination that aims to provide a recovery space for women victims of sexual violence. With the background of women experience as victims of marriage by abduction, this paper presents imaginative theological thoughts using the views of Ruether and Berger in the framework of providing an ecclesiastical ritual in favor of women victims. The church must stand with women victims of sexual violence. The support of the church can be shown through the provision of a liturgical space where women victims can share their experiences and at the same time reclaim one of the important symbols in the Christian liturgy, namely water as a sacred symbol of restoration. This ecclesiastical ritual is a space for women victims to show reversal movements, from circumstances and events where water marks past experiences of violence, to circumstances and events where water marks the present and future experience of healing. AbstrakTulisan ini merupakan suatu imajinasi liturgi feminis yang bertujuan menyediakan ruang pemulihan bagi perempuan korban kekerasan seksual. Dengan dilatari oleh pengalaman korban kawin tangkap, tulisan ini menyuguhkan pemikiran imajinatif teologis dengan menggunakan pandangan Ruether dan Berger dalam kerangka menyediakan suatu ritual gerejawi yang berpihak pada perempuan korban. Gereja mesti berdiri bersama perempuan korban kekerasan seksual. Keberpihakan gereja itu dapat ditunjukkan melalui penyediaan ruang liturgis dengan mana perempuan korban dapat membagi pengalamannya sekaligus mengklaim kembali salah satu simbol penting dalam liturgi Kristen yaitu air sebagai simbol sakral yang memulihkan. Ritual gerejawi ini merupakan ruang bagi perempuan korban untuk menunjukkan gerakan berbalik arah, dari keadaan dan peristiwa di mana air menandai pengalaman kekerasan di masa lampau, menuju keadaan dan peristiwa di mana air menandai pengalaman pemulihan di masa kini dan masa yang akan datang.
