This article describes an ongoing process of transformation in sexual abuse counselling centres in Norway that involves a new classification of groups of victims. These centres have traditionally operated at the grassroots level and outside the statutory system of services for victims and with an open-door policy for all victims. Drawing on field visits and interviews with staff, we explore how the centres are now working to secure their place within the expanding organisational field of services engaged in victim support and anti-violence work – and the dilemmas this produces related to some victims. Theoretically, our analysis departs from a Bourdieusian approach to organisational fields as well as Abbott’s concept of professional regression. We find that the centres have adopted ways of thinking and working that stem from the discipline of psychology and the powerful trauma-discourse that has permeated the organisational field they are part of. This ‘psychological turn’ manifests in different ways in the centres, including an increasing problematisation and marginalisation of the centres’ original user group – women who are severely affected by childhood sexual abuse – who no longer are seen as benefitting from the services offered. Hence, it involves a regression from what used to be the centres’ purpose and niche, to care for the most vulnerable and marginalised victims.

性虐待受害者自助服务的“心理转向”：驱动因素和困境

本文描述了挪威性虐待咨询中心正在进行的转型过程，其中涉及对受害者群体的新分类。这些中心传统上在基层和法定受害者服务体系之外运作，对所有受害者采取开放政策。通过实地访问和与工作人员的访谈，我们探讨了这些中心现在如何努力确保他们在从事受害者支持和反暴力工作的不断扩大的组织服务领域中的地位——以及由此产生的与一些受害者有关的困境。从理论上讲，我们的分析背离了对组织领域的 Bourdieusian 方法以及 Abbott 的专业回归概念。我们发现这些中心采用了源自心理学学科的思维和工作方式，以及渗透到他们所在组织领域的强大创伤话语。这种“心理转变”在中心以不同的方式表现出来，包括中心最初的用户群体——受儿童期性虐待严重影响的妇女——日益问题化和边缘化，她们不再被视为从所提供的服务中受益。因此，它涉及从曾经是中心的目的和利基的回归，以照顾最脆弱和边缘化的受害者。包括中心最初的用户群体——受儿童期性虐待严重影响的妇女——的日益问题化和边缘化，她们不再被视为从所提供的服务中受益。因此，它涉及从曾经是中心的目的和利基的回归，以照顾最脆弱和边缘化的受害者。包括中心最初的用户群体——受儿童期性虐待严重影响的妇女——的日益问题化和边缘化，她们不再被视为从所提供的服务中受益。因此，它涉及从曾经是中心的目的和利基的回归，以照顾最脆弱和边缘化的受害者。
