Women experience disproportionate rates of both sexual assault and intimate partner violence (CDC, 2018). This article describes the physical, sexual, and mental health impact of these traumas for women and the parallels between feminist theory and SAMSHA's six principles for trauma-informed care that include 1. Safety; 2. Trustworthiness and Transparency; 3. Peer Support; 4. Collaboration and Mutuality; 5. Empowerment, Voice and Choice; and 6. Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues (SAMSHA, 2017). By utilizing a trauma-informed framework and feminist perspective, clinicians and practitioners can better conceptualize the impact of trauma and the healing journey for survivors. Future research is needed to better understand the impact of interpersonal violence across cultures and how this trauma-informed approach can be effective in recovery.

ABSTRACT A review of literature in the fields of psychology and social work confirm an exploration of the experiences of sexual harassment of students by faculty and supervisors within training programs since 1979. The literature reveals a lack of research in family therapy training programs. The findings will be presented chronologically and parallel to important milestones in the history of the women’s movement within the United States through the current revitalized #metoo movement. This corresponding evolution presents both where we have come from and where we must go. Recommendations for the field of family therapy are included.

ABSTRACT This phenomenological study explored the experiences of Queer Christian women in the Southeastern United States, who were not out in their church communities. Grounded in intersectional feminism and queer theory, this study focused on understanding the experiences of queer Christian women to help family therapists provide more affirmative and inclusive services to this population. Researchers conducted a total of 15 interviews across 5 participants. Thematic analysis revealed five themes: 1) Church as a Formative Place, 2) Not Disclosing: Navigating Relationships, 3) Becoming and Constructing, 4) Affirming Experiences, and 5) Decisions about Coming Out. Findings highlight the multiplicity of identities participants held and the importance of holding space for the processes that queer Christian women navigate in church communities, relationships, and within themselves.

ABSTRACT While similarities exist between male and female survivors of sexual assault, unique barriers often prohibit males from speaking out about their experiences. The me too hashtag was created in an effort to end rape culture. Shortly after the me too hashtag began gaining popularity on social media sites, the me too men hashtag surfaced as men were not receiving recognition for their experiences of sexual assault. This study involved a content analysis of 379 public tweets that used the me too men hashtag. The current study provides a greater understanding and awareness of male sexual assault victims’ experiences on social media. Implications for both clinical work and future research are presented.
虽然性侵的男性和女性幸存者之间存在相似之处,但独特的障碍往往阻止男性说出他们的经历。“我也是”这个标签是为了结束强奸文化而创建的。在“我也是”(me too)标签开始在社交媒体网站上流行起来后不久,“我也是”(me too men)标签出现了,因为男性没有因为自己的性侵犯经历而得到认可。这项研究对379条使用“我也是男人”标签的公开推文进行了内容分析。目前的研究为男性性侵受害者在社交媒体上的经历提供了更好的理解和认识。对临床工作和未来研究的启示提出。

ABSTRACT The #MeToo movement has sparked thousands of survivors’ stories about sexual assault and abuse. Stories from those in the mental health field, however, remain rare. This article summarizes the experiences of a marriage and family therapist sexual assault survivor. Her story as a client, therapist, and supervisor are provided as insider accounts of survivorship, along with her responses to each. This article details how her sexual assault history influences her clinical work and is embedded in her supervision with therapists in training. Recommendations based on her personal experiences and current research are included for training and clinical practice.

ABSTRACT Street/public harassment framed as stranger intrusion more accurately recognizes and accounts for the potential harm perpetrated on survivors of harassment. Considering the #MeToo Movement, this paper highlights the ubiquitous nature of street/public harassment and the overlooked emotional and physical harm daily perpetrated in public spaces onto marginalized groups. This paper describes possible healing and meaning making that gendering and renaming street/public harassment can offer to survivors of such harassment, what helps perpetuate such acts, recourse for survivors, and the role of practitioners and family scholars in combatting the origins and effects of street/public harassment. Implications of understanding the harm of stranger intrusion include working towards social change to non-normalize stranger intrusion, facilitating healing, and working with perpetrators to increase accountability.
