The Experience of Healing of Female Sexual Abused Victims

본 연구는 ‘성폭력 피해 여성의 치유 경험은 어떠한가’라는 연구 질문을 가지고 성폭력 피해 여성의 치유 과정을 심층적으로 탐색한 것이다. 상담 경험이 있는 성폭력 피해 여성 9명을 심층면접하였고, 스트라우스와 코빈(Strauss & Corbin, 1998)의 근거이론 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 성폭력 피해 여성의 치유 과정의 중심 현상은 ‘성폭력 피해로 인한 심리적 고통’이었으며, 인과적 조건은 ‘성폭력 인지’, ‘절박함’이었으며, 맥락적 조건은 ‘폭로 이후 주변의 반응’, ‘섹슈얼리티 고정 관념’, 그리고 ‘가해자의 구속과 처벌’인 것으로 나타났다. 성폭력 피해 여성들은 치유 과정에서 ‘지지받음’, ‘성폭력 피해 의미 재해석’에 의해 중재를 받았으며, ‘감정과 만남’, ‘새로운 대처 기술 배움’, 그리고 ‘미래에 대한 희망 가짐’의 상호작용 전략을 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 치유의 결과로 성폭력 피해자들은 ‘생존자로 당당하게 살아감’, ‘삶을 재구성함’의 모습을 갖는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구는 한국의 사회․문화적 맥락 속에서 성폭력 피해 생존자들의 목소리를 통하여 치유 과정 및 관련 요소들을 체계적으로 밝혀냈다는 점에 의의가 있다. 본 연구의 한계점 및 후속 연구에 관한 제언들을 제시하였다.

Abstract

This study, driven by the question of ‘what the experience of healing of female sexual abuse victims is like,’ explores the process the victims undergo as they heal from the traumas. Using the methods suggested by Strauss and Corbin’s Grounded theory, it analyzes nine interviews taken from victims who have received counseling. The study found that the central phenomena that take place in the process of their healing is ‘mental pain due to the damage caused by sexual abuse,’ the causal conditions are ‘the recognition of the sexual abuse’ and ‘desperation,’ and the contextual conditions are ‘the reaction of the close ones of the victims,’ ‘the preconception about sexuality,’ and ‘the incarceration and punishment of the offenders.’ The victims have been intervened in the healing process by ‘being supported’ and ‘re-interpreting the meaning of the damage caused by sexual abuse,’ and are found to utilize the interactive strategy among ‘facing their emotions,’ ‘learning new coping strategies,’ and ‘hoping for the future.’ They are also found, as a result of the healing, to ‘live unafraid as survivors’ and ‘have structured their lives in a new way.’ This study is of significance in systematically elucidating the healing process and the related elements found through the voices of the survivors of sexual abuse in the context of the Korean society and culture. The limits of this study and suggestions about the studies that should follow this one are included as well.
