For this, conversational scenarios were elaborated, framed in the interpretative hermeneutic method, in order to favor the joint construction of narratives from the deconstruction of the dominant and saturated stories expressed by the research actors, which were three intervention agents with experience in the care of cases of child sexual abuse. The results make visible various narratives around his self-referential process, which is immersed in his role as an intervention agent, thus being affected by personal and work experiences. Likewise, narratives of satisfaction with their work are established, since they have internal and external resources, such as the guidelines established by the institution, self-organization resources such as the so-called “memory” and interdisciplinary work which is highlighted in the intervention work. of child sexual abuse cases. On the other hand, positions were expressed on the role of the family, which, although it can sometimes be dominant and problematic, is also recognized for its capacity for change and its importance for work in prevention.
