Wife assault, patterns of male attachment and intimate conflict behaviours: a study of fifty menSaunders, Keith Donald 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this preliminary and exploratory research
project was to identify possible links between insecure male
attachment patterns and wife assault. Attachment theory suggests
that the quality of early interpersonal relationships has a
profound effect on the psychological, emotional and social
development of the individual. Insecure attachment has been found
to be associated with a number of relationship problems and these
interpersonal problems have also been identified with men who
assault their wives. Based on this similarity, the insecure
attachment paradigm may offer a useful theoretical orientation
for understanding the conflict behaviours of men who assault
their wives.
The sample of fifty adult men who had assaulted their female
partners was drawn from two therapy groups. In this
preliminary and exploratory study, a number of measures were used
to assess each man's mental representation of childhood
attachment and his adult intimate attachment patterns, intimate
conflict tactics and interpersonal jealousy and anger problems.
The associations between insecure preoccupied, dismissing, and
fearful attachment pattern ratings and male conflict tactic and
relationship problems were then analyzed. The findings indicated
that men who assault their wives had a high proportion of
insecure adult intimate attachment patterns. These assaultive men
were also found to be predominantly insecure in both their mental
representations of childhood attachment and adult intimate
attachment pattern ratings, with the greatest continuity occurring with the insecure preoccupied and fearful pattern
ratings.
Three patterns of relationship problems corresponding to the
three insecure adult intimate attachment pattern rating were
found. Preoccupied attachment pattern ratings were positively
correlated with interpersonal jealousy scores and the reported
use of the reasoning, verbal/symbolic abuse, physical abuse and
severe physical abuse conflict tactics. Dismissing attachment
pattern ratings were positively correlated with interpersonal
anger scores and negatively correlated with the reasoning,
verbal, physical and severe physical abuse conflict tactics.
Fearful attachment pattern ratings were similar to the dismissing
pattern in the positive correlation with interpersonal anger
scores. The importance of considering insecure adult intimate
attachment pattern ratings when providing group therapy to men
who assault their wives was considered. Men with high insecure
dismissing adult intimate attachment pattern ratings seem to
require a distinctly different therapeutic approach than those
with high insecure preoccupied adult intimate attachment pattern
ratings and ideas in this regard are discussed.

Responding to Abusive Supervision: Opposing Arguments for the Role of Social Class in Predicting Workplace DeviancePowell, Nea Claire 27 August 2013 (has links)
This research examined the effect of social class on the relationship between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Within the social class literature we found conflicting theoretical arguments regarding the effect that social class would have on responses to abuse. To address this discordance we examined the effect of social class on responses to abusive supervision in four samples using multiple methods. Results confirmed that social class moderates the association between abusive supervision and workplace deviance. Specifically, the effect of abusive supervision on workplace deviance was stronger for higher social classes. In our laboratory research, the use of an abusive supervision prime and a subjective social class manipulation provided preliminary evidence for this effect. Our multi-wave field research provided evidence that these findings extend to actual employee behavior (i.e., interpersonal and organizational deviance). Implications for the abusive supervision literature are discussed.

Past experience, present discoveries, future hope : a journey for fathersDunbar, M. Jean, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Education January 1999 (has links)
The father's role in families where there has been domestic violence is now known to have significance impact on future intergenerational abuse (Dutton, 1998). Fathers who shame and physically abuse their sons are putting these young boys at risk for becoming potential abusers. However, even though this risk factor is known, the literature review conducted through this study shows the absence of information on the father/child relationship. Also absent was a knowledge on parenting groups available for these men. In attempting to address this gap in the research and to gain a better understanding of how these fathers experienced the parenting group, I realized I first needed to understand how these men experienced their lives. Using interpretive inquiry, three men were interviewed about their understanding of their life experiences.
The men chosen for the research had a history of domestic abuse within the family. Data collection included observations made during the parenting group, profiles gathered from intake files, and transcripts from the interviews. The data were analyzed for themes, patterns, confirmations, and contradictions, and then interpreted to reconstruct the men's stories. The findings of the study indicate several topics common to all three men: custody, visitation, the role of the father, emotional functioning, and past and present relationships. Interwoven among the topics were the themes of inefficacy, personal care, emotional nurturance and attachment, and awareness of the way they use language. Their stories echo the same message: they love their children and want to be with them. / ix, 151 leaves ; 29 cm.

Group treatment of men who are abusive : Counsellors' perceptions of what variables impact dropout / Marcel Daniel SikkemaSikkema, Marcel Daniel, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Education January 2011 (has links)
This study examined the perceptions of counsellors who provide group counselling for abusive men regarding what characteristics differentiate program dropouts from program completers. A total of 37 counsellors participated via an online-based or paper-based survey. The respondents rated 44 different client variables from four different categories (demographic, psychological, client-group, and client-therapist) on their impact on a client‟s likelihood to drop out of the program. The results were analyzed using chi square analyses, Mann Whitney U Tests and Kendall‟s tau-b correlations to determine the extent to which these variables were judged to impact dropout and how these results interacted with respondents‟ characteristics including demographic variables as well as experience and training variables. The results confirmed that many of the variables found in previous literature to discriminate between these two groups do operate in this way. Additionally, the results suggest several new sets of variables that could be helpful including batterer typology variables, stages of change variables and stages of group development variables. The implications of the findings are discussed with regards to their application in developing and facilitating group programs for abusive men with a view to identifying and intervening with potential dropout clients such that they are more likely to complete the program. The thesis concludes by discussing future research opportunities in this area and outlining the limitations of the study. / xvii, 174 leaves ; 28 cm

Between discourse and practice : creating the therapeutic subjectivity of the 'young sexual abuser'Brownlie, Julie January 1999 (has links)
This thesis is an attempt to theorise the therapeutic subjectivity of the 'young sexual abuser'. It falls into two parts. In the first, I make the case for an 'analytic bridging' between Foucauldian and other more broadly sociological perspectives in theorising sexual and therapeutic subjectivities. Specifically, I extend the Foucauldian idea of governmental practices into the therapeutic hour - that is, into the space and tie of therapeutic interaction. At the same tie, I also draw on more sociological readings about the self in interaction, sexuality and gendered embodient - themes which are revisited throughout the thesis when looking at chidhood, therapeutic practices and sexual risk. The second part of the thesis presents an empirical analysis of popular, practice and research accounts of 'problematic' young people and young sexual abusers; interview data with both 'young sexual abusers' and practitioners; and video-recordigs of a therapeutic programme for sexually abusive boys. Through ths analysis, I argue that the therapeutic subjectivity of the young sexual abuser is actually made up of three emergent subjectivities: the risky self, the victi-victiser and the controlled self. The thesis as a whole contributes to debates withn the sociology of chidhood, includig the relationship between gender, generation and sexual risk; to debates about the relationship between social theory and analysis of practice; and to debates about subjectification practices in late modernity, particularly with the gendered therapeutic project of sexual control.
