叙述干预已越来越多地纳入社会实践,并适用于暴力受害者。真相与和解委员会(TRCs)是一种干预措施,旨在通过叙述过程为暴力受害者提供治愈和验证的机会。本研究对美国第一个TRC,即北卡罗来纳州格林斯博罗的格林斯博罗TRC (GTRC)进行了定性研究,调查了向GTRC提供证词对1979年种族暴力事件受害者的影响。大多数受害者(N = 17)报告了积极的康复和参与干预的验证经验。本研究为嵌入在TRC过程中的愈合假设提供了支持,并讨论了对受害者叙事干预的影响。
Narrative interventions have been increasingly incorporated into social practice and applied to victims of violence. Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) are interventions that seek to provide victims of violence with opportunities for healing and validation through a narrative process. In a qualitative study of the first TRC in the United States, the Greensboro TRC (GTRC) in Greensboro, NC, this research investigated the impact of giving testimony to the GTRC on the victims of a 1979 incident of racial violence. Most victims (N = 17) reported positive healing and validating experiences from their participation in the intervention. This study provides support for the healing assumption embedded in TRC processes and discusses implications for narrative interventions with victims.
