Abstract

There is a dearth of research on trauma bonding among victims of sex trafficking. This study aims to fill this gap by seeking to understand how service providers working with survivors of sex trafficking conceptualize and observe trauma bonding in their clients. This qualitative study involved interviews with 10 participants. Purposeful sampling was employed among licensed social workers or counselors. Two themes emerged: defining trauma bonding (with four subthemes: embracing intensity, power imbalance, distortion of love, and inescapability) and the development of trauma bonds (with three subthemes: universality, gendered, and grooming). These findings provide much-needed insight into the complexities of trauma bonding.

"他狠狠地爱我，然后又狠狠地虐待我"：服务提供者如何定义和解释性贩运幸存者的创伤纽带。

有关性交易受害者之间创伤联结的研究十分匮乏。本研究旨在填补这一空白，了解为性贩卖幸存者提供服务的人员如何看待和观察客户的创伤联结。这项定性研究对 10 名参与者进行了访谈。在持证社会工作者或辅导员中进行了有目的的抽样。研究发现了两个主题：创伤纽带的定义（包括四个次主题：拥抱强度、权力失衡、爱的扭曲和无法逃避）和创伤纽带的发展（包括三个次主题：普遍性、性别化和诱导）。这些发现为了解创伤纽带的复杂性提供了亟需的洞察力。
