Treatment of Traumatised Sexuality
2021
Based on therapeutic meetings with individuals who have experienced sexual violence and abuse, the challenge is how do we help these couples to establish sexual relationships on their own terms, without interference of defence or coping strategies they have used to protect themselves against the overwhelming experiences of violence or abuse in the past? This article will focus on therapeutic work with such couples and how to interact with them and support their efforts to establish satisfying sexual relationships, based on sexological experience as well as experience from work with traumatisation. The basis for our treatment is a modified version of William Masters and Virginia Johnson’s ap…
Il diritto alla salute sessuale nella disabilità. Il ruolo dei caregiver e degli operatori delle relazioni di aiuto
2018
Il lavoro analizza la connessione tra disabilità, soddisfacimento sessuale e benessere psicosociale. L'analisi di diversi contributi scientifici evidenzia come le persone con disabilità, sia fisiche che cognitive, siano molto spesso relegate al ruolo di eterni bambini, la cui sessualità viene negata così come la possibilità di accedere ad una relazione sentimentale, spesso perché percepite come inappropriate non solo dai familiari ma anche dagli operatori della salute, favorendo la diffusione di pregiudizi e false attribuzioni. Il presente lavoro si presenta dunque come contributo per un auspicabile ampliamento delle pratiche di supporto nell'ambito della salute sessuale delle persone con d…

2023
Tämä Tansaniaan sijoittuva väitöskirjatutkimus tarkastelee vammaisuutta kehityskysymyksenä seksuaali- ja lisääntymisterveyden ja -oikeuksien kautta. Se edistää intersektionaalista ja kontekstisidonnaista ymmärrystä vammaisuudesta, sukupuolesta ja nuoruudesta. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena inspiraationa hyödynnettiin vammaisuuden sosiaalista ja ihmisoikeusmallia. Tutkimus haastaa tiedonhankinnan kolonialiteetteja perehtymällä 199 tansanialaisen eri tavoin vammaisen tytön näkemyksiin. Tutkimuskysymyksiin etsittiin vastauksia laadullisen abduktiivisen tutkimusotteen ja osallistavan vammaistutkimuksen avulla. Vammaisten tyttöjen näkemyksiä tutkittiin eläytymismenetelmän kautta. Tutkimusjulkaisuissa…
