为了促进康复，咨询师需要认识到非裔美国人客户使用的应对策略的范围。对70名非裔美国儿童暴力幸存者进行了一项回溯性定性研究。本研究的主要目的是探索应对策略的使用。结果显示：灵性、社区支持、激进主义、创造力、对抗、内省、幽默、治疗、安全措施、脱敏、种族重组/种族归因、超越和时间框架、逃避现实等策略的使用。对这些发现的临床意义进行了讨论。通过关注这些战略，辅导员将更有能力处理非裔美国人童年身体和性暴力幸存者的康复过程。
To enhance recovery, counselors need to recognize the range of coping strategies used by African American clients. A retrospective qualitative study was conducted with 70 African American survivors of childhood violence. The primary goal of this study was to explore the use of coping strategies. Results indicated use of the following strategies: spirituality, community support, activism, creativity, confrontation, introspection, humor, therapy, safety precautions, desensitization, racial reframing/racial attribution, transcendence and temporal framing, and escapism. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed. By attending to these strategies, counselors will be more equipped to address the recovery process of African American survivors of childhood physical and sexual violence.
