[Group intervention with children with problematic behavior: behavioral, affective and social evolution]. / Intervention de groupe auprès d'enfants présentant des comportements sexuels problématiques: évolution comportementale, affective et sociale.

The purpose of this research is to examine the evolution of children with problematic sexual behaviour following their participation in a group treatment program. The sample was made up of 43 children (33 boys and 10 girls) with an average age of 9 years, 7 months (SD = 1.85) The evolution of the children is measured administering behavioural rating instruments, both before and after the treatment program, on multiple dimensions of problematic sexual behaviour, externalizing and internalizing problems and social skills. The actual level of the children's participation is documented. The results indicate improvement for a significant portion of the children treated, particularly for those with problematic sexual behaviour, internalizing problems and social skills. This study highlights that treatment group might be a relevant choice of treatment modality.

[Strategic analysis of a post-intervention program in the scholastic environment]. / Analyse stratégique d'un programme de postvention en milieu scolaire.

This article discusses postvention following suicide in secondary schools. It presents a strategic analysis assessing the relevance of a specific postvention program, the validity of the proposed interventions and the underlying theory. As a starting point, we describe the steps leading to the development of the program, the program itself and the assessment strategy that was chosen. In an analysis of the program, 49 experts in suicidology showed their appreciation of this program while suggesting some improvements, notably in intervention by professionals, factors targeted to reduce the effects of suicide and the justification for applying postvention measures.
