The study's methodology is organized around the study of eight cases selected from psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy administered to women-mothers facing violence. Their emotional experiences constitute a privileged resource for considering the impact of violence on their children, as they offer grounds for the comprehension of the experience of children, of teenagers and of adults, all living in the environment in which the violence developed. Their life stories were registered through transferential fictional narratives, preserving the dramas the patient went through, but omitting data that might allow for identification and self-identification. These narratives were considered through psychoanalytical methodology allowing for the interpretative creation of four affective-emotional fields: Mother and wife , Partner/Monster , Ally/Enemy and Home/Battlefield . The research material makes it clear that domestic violence against women impacts the emotional life of their children, be it for witnessing or being victims of the aggression, or by harming the family environment, which should sustain their development. / O presente estudo objetiva investigar a experi?ncia emocional de mulheres-m?es em situa??o de viol?ncia, visando demonstrar que a viol?ncia dom?stica contra a mulher atinge sistematicamente os seus filhos, causando sofrimento e preju?zos psicol?gicos ligados ? falta de provis?o ambiental que favore?a o seu desenvolvimento e configurando situa??es em que os direitos das crian?as e dos adolescentes s?o tamb?m desrespeitados. Organiza-se metodologicamente ao redor do estudo de oito casos, selecionados a partir de atendimentos psicol?gicos psicanaliticamente orientados a mulheres-m?es em situa??o de viol?ncia. As experi?ncias emocionais dessas mulheres constituem-se como material privilegiado para a considera??o do impacto da viol?ncia sobre os seus filhos, na medida em que oferecem subs?dios para a compreens?o de viv?ncias de crian?as, adolescentes e adultos, bem como do ambiente familiar em que se d? o seu desenvolvimento. Registramos as hist?rias de vida das participantes na forma de narrativas transferenciais ficcionais, que preservam as dram?ticas vividas enquanto omitem dados que permitam a identifica??o e a autoidentifica??o. Tais narrativas, quando consideradas ? luz do m?todo psicanal?tico, permitiram a produ??o interpretativa de quatro campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: M?e e esposa , Parceiro/monstro , Aliado/inimigo e Lar/campo de guerra . O quadro geral evidencia que a viol?ncia dom?stica contra a mulher impacta a vida emocional dos seus filhos, seja por testemunharem ou sofrerem tamb?m agress?es, seja por prejudicar de modo importante o ambiente familiar, que deveria sustentar o seu desenvolvimento.

O estudo faz parte de pesquisa multicêntrica \"Estudo Internacional de Violência no Namoro - IDVS\", usando seu instrumento padronizado. Objetivou-se contribuir para o reconhecimento da ocorrência de violência entre parceiros íntimos na fase de namoro, tendo como base conceitual as questões de gênero e seus elementos para a compreensão da constituição da relação de intimidade. Dialoga, ainda, com as teorias do desenvolvimento humano, da aceitação da violência na resolução de conflitos e do aprendizado da violência da perspectiva geracional. Os recortes propostos foram três: um estudo descritivo sobre as prevalências da violência, ao longo do relacionamento de namoro e em seus diversos tipos; um segundo, abordou a violência e os fatores associados, e um terceiro, avaliou o impacto da violência na saúde mental a partir do quadro de depressão. O questionário foi auto preenchido por 362 alunos de duas universidades, uma pública e outra privada, do Estado de São Paulo, sendo 37% do sexo masculino e 63% do feminino, com idade mediana de 20 anos. Estimou-se a prevalência da violência em relacionamentos íntimos, sofrida ou perpetrada, para os tipos físico, psicológico e sexual, descrevendo-se as sobreposições entre eles. Quanto às violências, 75,9% sofreu algum tipo na vida e 76,4% as perpetraram. O tipo de violência mais prevalente, tanto sofrida como perpetrada, foi a psicológica, seguida da sexual. A grande sobreposição entre violências sofridas e perpetradas (83,9%) reflete a reciprocidade das agressões, sem diferença entre homens e mulheres. Na análise dos fatores associados ter vida sexual no namoro e aprovação da violência se mantiveram associadas a sofrer violência para as mulheres, enquanto para os homens ter tempo de namoro maior de 6 meses e uso associado de álcool e drogas mantiveram-se associados. No caso da violência perpetrada, mantiveram-se associadas para as mulheres o uso de substância 01psicoativa do tipo associação droga e álcool, ciúmes e tempo de namoro maior de dois anos. No modelo que considerou os tipos de violência e a associação com depressão, para as mulheres ter sofrido violência física exclusiva e física e sexual concomitantes mantiveram-se associadas. Os resultados estão em consonância com a literatura que analisa a violência no namoro, com alta prevalência de violências sofridas e perpetradas, além da reciprocidade tanto entre homens como entre mulheres. A situação de conjugalidade parece alterar quer a mutualidade das agressões, quer o sentido das violências e os agressores, para mulheres e para homens, em contraste com a situação de namoro. As consequências da vitimização no namoro para as mulheres são mais expressivas, enquanto que para os homens é importante se examinar com maior detalhamento as especificidades para a questão do ponto de vista masculino. Os achados trazem para o contexto brasileiro a confirmação da necessidade de ações e políticas públicas nesta direção, ao produzir conhecimento importante para programas de prevenção para jovens em fase de namoro, seja no plano dos serviços de saúde, seja no das escolas e universidades, onde se concentram os jovens, de forma a minimizar as chances de que as agressões continuem no casamento. / The study is part of a multicenter survey \"International Study of Violence in Dating - IDVS\" using its standardized instrument. The objective was to contribute for the recognition of the occurrence of intimate partner violence during phase dating, based on conceptual issues of gender and its elements for understanding the formation of intimate relationship. Dialogue also with theories of human development, the acceptance of violence in conflict resolution and learning the violence of generational perspective.The proposed cut were three: a descriptive study on the prevalence of violence over the dating relationship and its various types; a second, addressed the violence and associated factors; and a third, evaluated the impact of violence on mental health from the depression disorder. The questionnaire was self-reported by 362 undergraduate students from two universities, one public and one private, of the State of São Paulo, with 37% male and 63% female, median age 20 years. We estimated the prevalence among students of violence in intimate relationships, suffered or perpetrated, for the kinds physical, psychological and sexual, describing the overlap among them. As for violence, 75.9% suffered some sort in life and 76.4% were perpetrators. The most prevalent type of violence, both suffered as perpetrated, was psychological, followed by sexual. The large overlap between violence suffered and perpetrated (83.9%) reflects the reciprocity of aggression, with no difference between men and women. In the analysis of factors associated with sex life in dating and approval of violence remained associated to suffer violence for women, while for men longer relationship more than 6 months and use of alcohol and drugs concomitant remained associated. In the case of perpetrated violence, the use of drugs and alcohol concomitant, jealousy and long relationship more than two years remained associated for women. In the model considered the types of violence and the association with depression, for women have suffered physical violence exclusive and physical and sexual concurrent remained associated. The results are consistent with previous literature on dating violence that shows high prevalence of violence suffered and perpetrated, beyond reciprocity between both, men and women. The situation seems to change either marital mutuality of aggression, whether the meaning of violence and the perpetrators, for women and for men, in contrast to the dating situation. The consequences of victimization in dating for women are more expressive, while for men it is important to examine in greater detail the specifics for the issue of male point of view. The findings of this study bring to the Brazilian context confirming the need for action and public policy in this direction, to produce important knowledge for prevention programs for young people in the stage dating, either in the health service, either in schools and universities, which concentrates the specific population of young people, in order to minimize the chances that the assaults continue in the marriage.

The promulgation of Law 11,340, of 07 August 2006, appointed by the President of "Maria da Penha Maia" prompted many debates, both in the legal world and in society. With three years of duration, the mood is not quieted. Persist sometimes heated discussions. This justifies studies and reflections on the law that expanded the concepts of domestic violence against women, proposed a system of protection and the concentrated focus of attention on the victim. The woman, as victim of this violence is considered from the perspective of a complete individual: that is, deserves the protection of the law in the physical, psychological, sexual, property, moral. The Law of Domestic and Family Violence against Women proposed the creation of mechanisms to deter and prevent abuse within families and establish guidelines to combat discrimination, affirming the Human Rights of women, while recognizing the vulnerability of women under domestic relations or family. The constitutional principles of equality and dignity require the guarantee of Human Rights of Women, derived from the process of specialization and individualization of Human Rights. Law 11.340/06 was edited to meet the recommendations, in order to achieve an effective response to domestic violence and conceived from the perspective of gender, seek multidisciplinary solutions to the issue of violence against women, including measures awareness and training of professionals in various areas to give concreteness to a legal system out for Human Rights, in accordance with the democratic State of Law / Os temas relacionados à violência doméstica e à desigualdade de gênero demandam interesse por diversas razões. A promulgação da Lei 11.340, de 07 de agosto de 2006, nomeada pelo Presidente da República de Lei Maria da Penha Maia incitou diversos debates, tanto no mundo jurídico quanto na sociedade civil. Com de três anos de vigência, os ânimos não se aquietaram. Persistem discussões por vezes acaloradas. Isso justifica reflexões e estudos sobre a lei que ampliou os conceitos de violência intrafamiliar contra a mulher, propôs um sistema de proteção e centrou o foco de atenções na vítima. A mulher, vítima dessa modalidade de violência é considerada sob o prisma de um indivíduo completo: vale dizer, merece a proteção da lei sob o aspecto físico, psicológico, sexual, patrimonial, moral. A lei de Violência Doméstica e Familiar contra a Mulher propôs-se a criar mecanismos para coibir e prevenir os abusos intrafamiliares e estabelecer diretrizes para o combate da discriminação, reafirmando os Direitos Humanos das mulheres, sem deixar de reconhecer a condição de vulnerabilidade feminina no âmbito das relações domésticas ou familiares. Os princípios constitucionais da igualdade e da dignidade pressupõem a garantia dos Direitos Humanos das Mulheres, derivados do processo de especialização e individualização dos Direitos Humanos. A Lei 11.340/06 foi editada para atender a recomendações internacionais, com o objetivo de alcançar uma resposta efetiva contra a violência doméstica e concebeu, sob a perspectiva de gênero, buscar soluções multidisciplinares para a questão da violência contra a mulher, inclusive com medidas de sensibilização e capacitação de profissionais de diversas áreas, para dar concretude a um sistema jurídico atento aos Direitos Humanos, em conformidade com o Estado Democrático de Direito

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a program being run by the Bedford Police Department’s Repeat Victimization Unit on domestic violence and mental health and mental retardation. The study sought to determine whether the program was effective in reducing instances of repeat victimization in domestic violence and MHMR victims. Additionally the program investigated whether or not the program was effective at reducing victimization severity, and which demographic could be identified as the most victimized. Participants consisted of 157 domestic violence and MHMR victims in the city of Bedford, Tx between November 11, 2012 to July 30, 2013. Findings indicate that levels of repeat victimization for domestic violence and MHMR are relatively low regardless of whether the victim received services through the repeat victimization program or not. Additionally the severity of these repeat victimizations remains relatively constant regardless of whether services were received through the program or not. Implications and findings are discussed.

The centrepoint of this thesis is an action research project, the Maternal Alienation Project (MAP), implemented during 2002 and 2003 in Adelaide, South Australia. Resourced by two government-funded community health services, it was established to improve organisations’ (health, welfare and legal) and systems’ responses to the newly termed ‘maternal alienation’. MAP was situated within a tradition of feminist participatory and action research. It was designed to work on three levels: practice, systems and policy-making, and research. The outcomes, processes and events of MAP at the different levels of its operation are examined in the thesis through the employment of a gendered analysis drawn mainly from materialist feminism and standpoint theories. Post-project interviews and focus groups provided further data to the fieldnotes written throughout MAP, and the project’s formal and informal documents. A recent example of a contested gendered concept, “maternal alienation” was first identified and named in 1999 as a component of gender violence (Morris 1999). It forms part of a spectrum of violence perpetrated in households, and had been identified within domestic violence and child sexual abuse. It is a term for the range of tactics used by mainly male perpetrators, predominantly the mothers’ intimate partners and the children’s fathers or step-fathers, to deliberately undermine the relationship between mothers and their children. The mother-blaming discourses and degrading constructions of mothers conveyed to children and those in the family’s orbit are strongly related to wider socio-cultural constructions of women and mothers. The thesis examines theories of gender, gendered organisations and gender violence. It develops the concept of an abusive household gender regime, characterised by perpetrators’ imposition of a coercive and abusive regime on household members, and particular patternings of gendered relations. Comparisons are made between household and organisational gender regimes, which are also viewed in relation to the local gender order at the time of MAP. It was found that services that lack an analysis of gender are likely to re-inscribe the dynamics of maternal alienation in their responses to families. Language was found to play a significant part in addressing maternal alienation, particularly in developing congruence between language and women’s and children’s “lived” experiences. The principles that were developed were founded on supporting mothers and rebuilding their relationships with children, and making visible the tactics employed by perpetrators, thereby reducing their power to coerce and increasing their accountability. The concept of maternal alienation and MAP itself were attacked by a coalition of men’s rights and Christian Right lobbyists. This compromised the operations of MAP, and of its key supporters, managers of feminist and gender-aware organisations. In many ways these attacks, played out at a macro level, reflected the techniques and dynamics of maternal alienation at a micro level. This thesis raises questions about the strategies that feminist organisations need to develop to more effectively pursue feminist agendas, and to re-invigorate a women’s movement. / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Social Sciences, 2008

The co-occurrence of domestic violence (DV) and child maltreatment is high. Response to both problems has historically been via two different systems. However, child protection workers are increasingly asked to respond to this co-occurrence since research has identified that exposure to DV can negatively impact on children and that child maltreatment often co-occurs with DV. This study looks at child protection systems response to families affected by DV by using two research methods. First, a systematic review was conducted using research papers focusing on child protection workers response to families experiencing DV. Second, a critical discourse analysis of current Australian child protection policies was conducted. Findings from the systematic review show that child protection workers' response to abused mothers went from treating them as 'mad' in the 1980s, to labelling them 'failure to protect' in the 1990s and early 2000. These findings showed continued focus on abused mothers rather than on perpetrators of DV. Some contradictions were found around child removal data. However, important links were found between re-notification of children and subsequent removal. Findings from the Australian policy analysis revealed that most policies referred to DV as a child protection issue and used a feminist definition of DV. However, not all states had detailed guidelines on how to intervene safely and effectively with families affected by DV. Discussions and recommendations focus around the pressing need for more DV expertise within child protection systems. It also discusses the issue of responsibility placed on abused mothers while perpetrators of DV remain invisible. Finally, it discusses the response to children exposed to DV compared to the response to children exposed to DV who are also victim of direct child maltreatment. The key recommendations of this study are to have DV expertise within the child protection systems, to empower abused mothers rather than blaming them, which implies putting the responsibility back on the perpetrator of DV and to have resources and systems in place before responding to child exposure to DV as child maltreatment per se.

This study sought to explore and describe the recollections of young adults who were exposed to domestic violence within the family structure during childhood, so as to develop an understanding of the systems and structures needed to develop effective services to child victims of domestic violence. It is envisaged that services to these children could aid as an important preventative strategy, in that newly acquired behaviour and thinking patterns could assist them to defer from engaging in violent relationships, thereby, breaking the cycle of violence. The research study was conducted by means of a qualitative research approach and made use of the phenomenological, contextual, explorative and descriptive research designs. The purposive sampling technique was used and semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain the data. Tesch’s (cited in Creswell, 2009:186) proposed eight steps for data analysis were employed. Data verification focused on credibility/authenticity, transformability, dependability and conformability. It is envisaged that the findings and conclusions of this study could inform the planning of services to children exposed to domestic violence. / Social Work / M.A. (S.S.)

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America / Este estudio nace de una experiencia particular de violencia y de la observación de la misma en la vida cotidiana y práctica pastoral de un barrio pobre de Lima. Aplicaré el método fenomenológico existencial para recuperar mi historia a través del recuerdo de cómo fue la relación en el espacio doméstico. Este método trata de construir pensamiento valorando la historia de las mujeres y recuperando la misma en una dinámica más amplia que se extiende a su relación con el otro y con la otra. A partir de allí, intentar hacer un análisis epistemológico sobre la violencia con mediación de género, para entender los procesos sociales construidos de los sujetos involucrados en este sistema de violencia. Los sujetos denominados víctima y agresor inter-actúan en esta trama social compleja en primer momento y se focaliza al agresor en segundo momento. Para procurar entender cómo la mediación de género devela esquemas regidos por la lógica patriarcal que atraviesa todo el tejido social, donde el agresor -resultado de una construcción social- merece también especial atención. Esta aproximación a la construcción de la identidad masculina señala algunas pistas para entender los mecanismos que tienden a perpetuar la supremacía masculina, que impiden establecer relaciones justas entre hombres y mujeres. Lo paradoxal y desafiante de este estudio es ver al agresor como una víctima más de la ideología patriarcal y buscar la manera de reconciliarlo a través de la demanda bíblica del perdón porque la justicia que lo sanciona con leyes no detuvo la violación. No se pretende justificar al agresor por el delito cometido sino brindar elementos que sirvan de análisis para la prevención del abuso. El tercer y último capítulo aborda lo masculino en la iglesia y partir de allí elaborar una propuesta de trabajo pastoral considerando un análisis teológico en la perspectiva de brindar elementos que sirvan en primera instancia a la propia iglesia para acompañar un trabajo con hombres violentos. / This research is born out of my personal experience of violence and also out of my personal observation of daily life and pastoral work in a poor neighborhood in Lima. I will employ the phenomenological method in order to retrieve my history from memories about my relationship at home. This method attempts to value women history and also to retrieve it out of a wider dynamic that englobes the relationship between women and men and between women and other women. I will, then, try to make an epistemological analysis of violence, in order to understand the social process of violence. The focus of the analysis will be the concept of gender. In the first moment I will analize the relationship between agressor and victim, then the focus is on the aggressor. I will try to undestand the role of gender to uncovering the patriarcal axis that rules the social fabric. In order to do that, will be necessary to focus also on the agressor as a product of the social system. This approach to the male identify construction offers some clues to understand the mechanism that leads into the perpetuation of male supremacy , which, on other hand, prevents just and equal reationships between men and women from taking place. The paradoxal and the challenging elements in this work are the view of the agressor as a victim of the patriarchal ideology and the search for a way of reconciliation between agressor and victim based on biblical claim of forgiveness, once the justice has not solved the problem through the sanctions enforcement. I do not intend to justify the agressor way, but to offer elements that help to build a proposal for violence preventing. The third chapter focus on the role of men in church, in order to design a pastoral plan theologically informed that plan as its major goal to help the church to develop pastoral work for violent men.

A violência doméstica contra a criança e o adolescente é considerada um fenômeno multifacetado que diz respeito às relações com abuso de poder entre pessoas que estabelecem vínculo afetivo de parentesco e/ou de convivência. Seu locus de manifestação tem sido a família em que, os adultos pais e mães são os autores, sujeitos e produtores dessa violência, enquanto as crianças e os adolescentes têm sido as pessoas que vivem em situação de violência doméstica. É um drama familiar que se constitui no coletivo, atravessado pela cultura, economia, religião e política. É neste cenário que o presente trabalho se desenvolve. Norteado por uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, tem como objetivo compreender como as famílias, em situação de violência doméstica, atendidas por uma Organização Não-Governamental rompem com este cenário. Os participantes foram cinco famílias compostas por adultos, crianças e adolescentes, atores sociais que residem na cidade de Recife e Região Metropolitana. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semiestruturada com perguntas concernentes à ruptura da violência doméstica contra a criança e o adolescente. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à Análise de Conteúdo, com o propósito de identificar os núcleos de sentidos que englobam quatro eixos temáticos: violências identificadas; vínculos: relações de afeto e poder; dinâmica familiar e processo de ruptura e caminhos para o rompimento. Através da análise do material coletado nas entrevistas, foi identificada a presença de violência física e psicológica doméstica no seio da família, sendo a mulher e mãe a principal autora dessas violências contra seus filhos e filhas. No entanto, o que chama atenção nas famílias pesquisadas é que a ruptura da violência doméstica começa a partir das próprias autoras, quando rompem com o pacto do silêncio, falando sobre as violências vividas, em um grupo de discussão composto por mulheres, facilitado por uma Organização Não-Governamental. As considerações finais sinalizam que: refazer os seus vínculos de afeto, rever e modificar sua dinâmica familiar e romper com a violência doméstica ocorreram a partir do rompimento do pacto do silêncio, ao estabelecer relações para além do convívio familiar. / Domestic violence against children and adolescents is considered as multifaceted phenomenon that is concerned to relations with power misuse among persons that would establish kinship and/or living together affective ties and they do not act like this. Its domestic violence manifestation locus has been the family which the adults fathers and mothers, i.e. parents, are themselves authors in, this violence subjects and producers, while the children and adolescents have, for their side, have been the persons that live under domestic violence situation. This is a familiar drama that has been framed within the collective world, transverse culture, economy, religion and politics. It is in this scenario that this work has been developed. Guided by a qualitative nature methodology, it this work aims at understanding the way families, within a domestic violence situation, attended by a Non-Governmental Organization, break through this scenario. Five families, constituted by adults, children and adolescents, all of themselves social actors that dwell in Recife city and its Recifes Metropolitan Regions have been participants in this research. The used instrument was the semistructured interview with questions concerning the domestic violence rupture against children and adolescents. The collected data have been subdued to a Content Analysis, aiming at identifying the senses that embody four thematic axes: identified violences, ties, affection and power relations, familiar dynamics and rupture process and ways toward to breaking out. Through material analysis, collected in the interviews, it has been identified domestic physical and psychological violence presence within families, being the woman and the mother these violences against her sons and daughters principal author. However, which attracts full attention among the researched families in the fact that the domestic violence rupture starts from the authors themselves, as they break out with the silence pact and start speaking about it, revealing the violence they have lived through and they have spoken out in a discussion group, constituted by women, which was dully made easy by a Non-Governmental Organization. The final considerations signal that: remaking their affection ties, reviewing and modifyind their familiar dynamics and breaking out with the domestic violence happened departing the silence pact rupture, as they establish relations further beyond their familiar living together.
