Family child abuse and the relational approach

Abstract

This article defends the impossibility of affronting therapies for child vic- tims of maltreatment or sexual abuse without considering, in practical terms, interventions related to issues of guardianship. To adopt a circular view in a strict way is in these cases extremely risky, specially if the comprehension of the interdependence dynamics is confused with helping the parent assume the responsibility for the damage the child has been caused.
