Abstract [en]

In Sweden, a child who has experienced child abuse, can be interviewed by the police without the parents’ knowledge or consent. Afterwards, the parents receive the information from both the police and the social services. About thirty percentage of the children aret aken care of immediately after the interview, while the rest are going home to their parents. Social work professionals acknowledged the importance of giving support to amilies after the police interview, as a crisis can occur in these kinds of situations. Therefore, a model has been developed, called After the child interview [Efter barnförhöret] (ACI). This study reports the interim findings from a program-theory evaluation of ACI: how do family therapists experience working with ACI and how does the model meet the challenges when dealing with the complexity of child abuse? We focus on strengths and weaknesses of the ACI, as identified by the family therapists, and the potential changes the model resulted in for the families involved. The findings indicate that ACI motivates families to accept further help from the social services, and that it benefits the child’s perspective on violence. Organizational limits keep professionals from using the model to the extent they desire, and there are also several local adaptions made, which may influence the outcome of the model. Practical implications for the model as well as practice will be presented as well.
