BACKGROUND: Intrafamilial child sexual abuse (IFCSA) frequently occurs in the presence of significant others who face complex challenges in recognizing the abuse. While research has increasingly examined disclosure and meaning-making in IFCSA contexts, comparatively little is known about how survivors come to know, interpret, and sustain knowledge of abuse within relational environments characterized by silencing and non-recognition.
OBJECTIVE: This study examines how adult survivors of IFCSA come to know abuse that occurred in the presence of significant others who did not recognize it, and how knowledge of the abuse becomes possible and sustainable across relational and social contexts.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Eighteen Israeli Jewish adult IFCSA survivors (twelve secular, three religious, three Ultra-Orthodox) participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews. All reported that significant others, understood in the symbolic interactionist sense as the close figures whose responses shape a child's sense of what is real, had been present during or aware of abusive incidents. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis within a constructivist symbolic interactionist framework.
RESULTS: Three interconnected layers of silencing were developed, each representing a distinct arena in which knowledge of the IFCSA was contested, formed, and sustained against non-recognition: intrapersonal silencing, familial silencing, and social silencing. Across these layers, participants' accounts suggested that knowing developed through partial, fragmented, or delayed processes of remembering.
CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of IFCSA forms and is sustained against non-recognition at three levels. The field's question thus shifts from why survivors did not disclose to the conditions under which knowing and telling become possible.
