本文从核心意识或核心自我意识与一个与关于自己的故事结合在一起的自我之间的区别开始，认为我们集体地与一个关于自己的错误故事结合在一起，一个核心自我抵制的故事。在儿童的复原力面临更大风险的发展时期，性别差异突出表明了男孩在幼儿期和女孩在青春期接受启蒙教育的代价。由于这种时间上的差异，女孩可能成为一种精神分裂和解离过程的告密者，这种分裂和解离阻碍了儿童的关系能力，并为暴力开辟了道路。女孩对在心理和社会上造成后果的损失的抵制，说明了男孩的抵制，否则可能被忽视。从对女孩发展的研究中得出的证据表明，通过在儿童中加入健康的抵抗，我们可以采取行动防止青年暴力。本文最后以一个自杀少女的案例研究来说明一个关系框架如何改变对暴力行为的解释，并为应对策略提供信息。
Beginning with the distinction between core consciousness or a core sense of self and a self that is wedded to a story about itself, this paper suggests that we have collectively been wedded to a false story about ourselves, a story that the core self resists. The gender disparity with respect to times in development when children's resilience is at heightened risk highlights the costs of an initiation that occurs for boys in early childhood and for girls at adolescence. Because of this difference in the timing, girls can become informants about a process of psychic splitting and dissociation that impedes the relational capacities of children and opens the way to violence. The articulateness of girls' resistance to losses that are psychologically and socially consequential illuminates a resistance in boys that may otherwise be overlooked. Evidence drawn from studies of girls' development leads to the suggestion that by joining a healthy resistance in children, we can act to prevent youth violence. The paper ends with a case study of a suicidal adolescent girl to illustrate how a relational framework shifts the interpretation of violent behavior and informs a strategy of response.
