This work explores the combined impact of sexual violence and a burglary within a family, creating a major traumatic breach that transcends the simple sum of individual harms. This accumulation of aggressions transforms the home, once a space of safety, into a place of constant threat, generating trauma. Using a mixed-methods approach integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, this study highlights the emotional and social fractures caused by these traumas and proposes appropriate therapeutic interventions to promote individual and collective resilience.
This article examines the effectiveness of integrative psychotherapies in treating complex trauma in victims of sexual violence. Through the cases of Emmanuela and Sophie, it demonstrates that these combined approaches reduce the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, strengthen resilience, and improve emotional and social autonomy. Using a qualitative and individualized methodology, including emotion management, exploration of traumatic memories, and relapse prevention, the patients experienced a significant reduction in symptoms, improved self-esteem, and enhanced social skills, with these gains maintained over the long term. The study confirms the importance of the therapeutic alliance and innovates by integrating social and cultural dimensions, thus highlighting the relevance and flexibility of integrative psychotherapies in meeting the specific needs of victims in diverse contexts.
