Managing problematic sexual behavior in institutions is a professional publication aimed at staff working in social and medico-social establishments and services (ESSMS) for children, adolescents and adults with disabilities or in vulnerable situations. It aims to provide clear, practical and accessible guidelines for understanding, analyzing and managing the sexual behaviors that can arise in these diverse contexts - whether these involve interactions between people in care, or behaviors directed towards others.
In care and support structures, problematic sexual behavior is often misunderstood, trivialized, over-interpreted or confused with offenses, leading to confusion and inappropriate reactions on the part of staff. This lack of appropriate information reveals a strong need for reliable professional tools, combining theoretical insights, legal frameworks and concrete examples.
The book responds to this challenge by bringing together up-to-date knowledge and proven practices to help teams act coherently and thoughtfully when faced with complex situations.
The aim of this book is to enhance the skills of professionals in identifying, understanding and effectively managing problematic sexual behavior within institutions, by providing them with theoretical contributions, legal clarifications and directly mobilizable tools (quizzes, situational exercises, summary sheets). The aim is to transform confusion and uncertainty into safe, pedagogical responses adapted to the institutional setting, while improving the quality of support provided.
