The effects of having witnessed their fathers’ violent behaviour impacts on daughters for a long period afterwards, even in adulthood. This study explores this phenomenon by means of literature review and interviews. The literature indicates that the effects of paternal violence is linked to forced maturity, secrecy, pretending, self-blame, and negative impact on the daughter’s relationships with both parents. A narrative approach was used to interview three adult participants. The conversations were analysed using thematic analysis and hermeneutics. Themes that emerged include avoidance, ambivalence towards the parents, aggression, assertiveness, and over-responsibility. There is a tendency to avoid intense, emotionally-laden, ambiguous and unpredictable situations through the use of interpersonal vigilance, an emotionally strong poise, distancing, being agreeable and devoutness. Also, there is a fear of becoming just like their abusive father. The psychological impact of being witness to a father’s violent behaviours has long-lasting effects on daughters. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Os meninos de rua constituem uma problemática que denuncia a exclusão social de crianças e adolescentes, os quais vagueiam pelas ruas, numa trajetória em que prevalecem a transgressão, a violência, a destruição de si e do outro, por meio dos quais o sujeito insiste em existir para o Outro. Esta tese resulta das inquietações de uma prática clínico-institucional e visou a analisar o que pode indicar uma ancoragem e enodamento na errância do sujeito adolescente em situação de rua a partir dos traços que o singularizam e o destacam do universo meninos de rua. Sustentamos a hipótese de que a errância, apesar da degradação subjetiva e da radical expulsão, pode constituir um movimento de vida e resistência, uma tomada de posição do sujeito. Baseando-se na proposição psicanalítica do Traço do Caso, a pesquisa foi norteada pela construção de dois casos clínicos, a partir do que fez tropeço na intervenção e de seus efeitos na escuta. À luz da Aufhebung freudiana e da topologia lacaniana do nó borromeu, destacamos uma realidade marcada por um esgarçamento do tempo e do espaço, uma diluição das fronteiras, uma prevalência do Real. A proposição de uma clínica borromeana situa a instituição como referente simbólico; suplência que opera, no recurso à palavra, reparos nos lapsos do nó. Trata-se de uma construção do adolescente e da instituição que transgride o instituído da exclusão, do saber, das práticas sedimentadas, buscando, num ato inventivo e de autoria do sujeito, uma ultrapassagem da marca da exclusão para a rasura de um traço, por meio de uma nominação simbólica; um entre que enoda e faz laço social; um ponto de ancoragem para quem vinha rodando pela rua. / The presence of "street kids" denounces the social exclusion of children and adolescents that wander the streets, in a trajectory that prevails transgression, violence, destructivity, through which the subject persists to exist for the Other. This thesis is a result of questionings from a clinical practice in an institution. This thesis envisions to analyze what could be related to an anchorage and enlacing in the wander of homeless adolescents, based on the traces that make them unique and detached from the universe of street kids. We propose the hypothesis that the wander, regardless of the subjective degradation and the expulsion, could constitute a movement of life and resistance, an emergence of the subject. Based on the psychoanalytic Trace of the Case, this research was guided by two clinical cases, from what constituted an interventions stumble and its effects in the listening process. Guided by the Freudian Aufhebung and the Lacanian borromean knot, we highlight a reality characterized by the fraying of time and space, a dilution of boundaries, a prevalence of the Real. The proposition of a borromean clinic places the institution as a symbolic reference; a substitute that functions, utilizing the word as a resource, as a repair to the lapses of the knot. This is about a construction that transgresses what is institutionalized about exclusion, knowledge, and established clinical practice. It aims, through an inventive act, a trajectory from the wound of the exclusion to the draft of a trace, through a symbolic nomination; a between space that promotes the knot and the social engagement; a source of anchorage for whom used to go rolling through the street.

The study included twenty four teachers from three schools, among them, one public and two private (corporate and other religious one) in the Metropolitan Region of Recife. The general objective of this study was: understanding how educators experience school violence in their institutional routine and specific were: to characterize teachers regarding gender, age, length of experience in education, academic education; describe the experiences of educators about school violence and identify how educators perceive themselves in relation to the issue of school violence. From a qualitative methodology as a tool for data collection used collective conversations with script of questions. The results were analyzed based on the theory of Social Representation (RS) with respect to a creative process of cognitive and symbolic elaborations that provide guidance to human behavior, as well as being a mechanism for developing social object by interpersonal communication, group , mass and analysis of collected data we use the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) because it is a technique of tabulation and organization of qualitative data that is based on the theory of RS. DSC enables, through systematic and standardized procedures, add testimonials without reducing them to numbers. DSC emerged in some central ideas (ICs), described as follows: Dissatisfaction educator / illness; Students' disinterest; Context family / school; Link teacher / student and expressions of violence. The results achieved in this study allows us to assert that the experiences of educators on school violence refer to confrontations caught, every day, for them to establish links between personal and professional well-being in the workplace, in constant search of partnership with families in the process of educating, preserving the affectivity and the ability to deal with the violence that hit the school environment. Keywords: education; school; violence. / Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de refletir sobre a experiência dos educadores sobre violências escolares. Participaram deste estudo vinte e quatro educadores de três escolas, entre elas, uma pública e duas privadas (uma empresarial e outra religiosa) da Região Metropolitana do Recife. O objetivo geral este estudo foi: compreender como os educadores experienciam as violências escolares em seu cotidiano institucional e os específicos foram: caracterizar os professores quanto ao sexo, idade, tempo de experiência na educação, formação acadêmica; descrever as experiências dos educadores sobre violências escolares e identificar como os educadores se percebem em relação à temática das violências escolares. A partir de uma metodologia qualitativa, como instrumento para coleta dos dados utilizamos conversas coletivas com roteiro de perguntas. Os resultados foram analisados a partir da teoria da Representação Social (RS) que diz respeito a um processo criativo de elaborações cognitivas e simbólicas que servem de orientação ao comportamento humano, além de ser um mecanismo de desenvolvimento do objeto social pela comunicação interpessoal, de grupos, de massa e para análise dos dados coletados utilizamos o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) por se tratar de uma técnica de tabulação e organização de dados qualitativos que tem como fundamento a teoria da RS. O DSC permite, através de procedimentos sistemáticos e padronizados, agregar depoimentos sem reduzi-los a quantidades. No DSC surgiram algumas Ideias Centrais (ICs), assim descritas: Insatisfação do educador / adoecimento; Desinteresse dos alunos; Contexto família / escola; Vínculo professor / aluno e Expressões de violência. Os resultados alcançados neste estudo nos permite afirmar que as experiências dos educadores sobre violência escolar se referem a confrontos travados, cotidianamente, por eles no sentido de estabelecer vínculos entre bem-estar pessoal e profissional no ambiente de trabalho, na busca permanente de parceria com as famílias no processo de educar, a preservação da afetividade e da capacidade em lidar com as violências que atingem o meio escolar.

Intrafamily violence is understood to mean any act or omission that impairs the physical and psychological integrity and the full development of a family member. Experiencing violence in the family context results in several consequences for adolescents, among them, the early experience of violent dating. Violence in teen dating refers to physical, sexual, psychological (emotional/verbal), digital, harassment, and financial violence in a loving relationship. Such phenomenon is still considered a predictor of conjugal violence. In this context, the general objective of the present study was to understand how the adolescent with a history of intrafamily violence builds his/her relationships. This is a qualitative research of an exploratory nature. Four adolescents participated in this multiple case study: three girls and one boy, between 15 and 18 years old, who were or are victims of intrafamily violence, and that they are dating or had dated, regardless of the duration of the relationship. The present investigation was carried out in two cities of the metropolitan region of Recife / PE. The sampling technique used was the snowball and the instrument for data collection was a semi-structured interview. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and subsequently submitted to content thematic analysis. In the results, it was verified among teenagers participants indicative elements of the intergenerational transmission of violence. The family relationships found in this research fail to provide a healthy affective relationship because of the physical and psychological suffering to which its members were and in some cases still are exposed. Suffering psychological violence from parents and/or caregivers through humiliation and offense was observed as the most difficult events to which adolescents were exposed. However, as a positive point, a nonlinear and non-deterministic relation of the phenomenon was evidenced; two-way violence between participants was not identified. Given the complexity of the topic, it is fundamental to carry out research that deepens the understanding of the relationship between the experience of intrafamily violence and the presence of violence in the dating experience among adolescents. / Episódios que envolvem a violência intrafamiliar têm sido amplamente divulgados nos meios de comunicação, além de ser uma temática frequente nos meios acadêmicos. Entende-se por violência intrafamiliar qualquer ato ou omissão que prejudique a integridade física e psicológica e o pleno desenvolvimento de um membro da família. Vivenciar a violência no contexto familiar resulta em várias consequências para os adolescentes, entre elas, a vivência precoce de namoros violentos. A violência no namoro entre adolescentes refere-se à violência física, sexual, psicológica (emocional/verbal), digital, perseguição e financeira em um relacionamento amoroso. Tal fenômeno é ainda considerado preditor de violência conjugal. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral do presente estudo foi o de compreender como o adolescente com histórico de violência intrafamiliar constrói suas relações amorosas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Participaram deste estudo de caso múltiplo quatro adolescentes: três moças e um rapaz, entre 15 e 18 anos, que foram ou são vítimas de violência intrafamiliar, e que tenham namorado ou ficado, independentemente do tempo de duração da relação. A presente investigação foi realizada em duas cidades da região metropolitana do Recife/PE. A técnica de amostragem utilizada foi a da bola de neve e o instrumento para coleta de dados foi uma entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e, posteriormente, submetidas à análise temática de conteúdo. Nos resultados, verificou-se, entre os adolescentes participantes elementos indicativos da transmissão intergeracional da violência. As relações familiares encontradas nesta pesquisa falham como provedoras de uma relação afetiva saudável, em virtude do sofrimento físico e psíquico a que seus membros foram e, em alguns casos, ainda são expostos. Sofrer violência psicológica dos pais e/ou dos cuidadores por meio de humilhações e ofensas foi observado como sendo os eventos mais difíceis a que os adolescentes foram expostos. No entanto, evidenciou-se, como ponto positivo, uma relação não linear e não determinista do fenômeno; não foi identificada a violência bidirecional entre os participantes. Diante da complexidade do tema, torna-se fundamental a realização de pesquisas que aprofundem a compreensão da relação entre a vivência da violência intrafamiliar e a presença da violência no namoro entre adolescentes.

The purpose of the study was to look at whether domestic violence is being viewed as a risk factor in homes where there is also physical child abuse. Historically a misconception has existed that child abuse occurs in a vacuum of sorts, isolated from other family problems.

Nigerian immigrants have been largely excluded from studies on issues relating to immigrants living in American society. This study examines the perception of domestic violence among Nigerians and their help seeking counseling for behavior problems.

This study generates a metatheory of interpersonal violence from an initial qualitatively highest scoring academic literature item and theoretically sampling over 200 additional literature items using classic grounded theory methodological analysis and synthesis. Danger emerged as the main concern of those experiencing interpersonal violence. Safetifying from interpersonal violence through the socio-psychophysical process of Phasic Protective Sequencing emerged as the resolution of the main concern. The metatheory of safetifying emerged in four parts: 1. The first was the socio-structural process of endangering with interpersonal violence through the interaction of the people and the elite resulting in endangerment (danger). 2. Danger precipitates the socio-psychological process of safetifying before interpersonal violence which involves awarenessing, setting up, and evaluating. 3. If the person is attacked, it precipitates the psycho-physical process of safetifying during interpersonal violence including resiliencing, finishing, and victoring. 4. The aftermath of an attack or the avoidance of an attack precipitates the psycho-social process of safetifying after interpersonal violence including reclaiming, relinquishing, and achieving. The metatheory of safetifying was shown to contribute uniquely to the field of interpersonal violence, to many related theories, and to have potential for therapeutic application. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Over the last four centuries, South Africa has been shaped by the twinned, dialectical histories of violence and resistance to violence. However, because both violence and resistance encompass myriad formations and are underlain with a plethora of ideologies and hermeneutics, studying each - particularly from within critical community psychology - is oftentimes necessarily didactic and reductive. Yet, if this kind of research is to retain emancipatory potential, I contend, it should be both community-oriented and politically committed. In an attempt to understand how violence moves through Thembelihle, a low income community in South Africa, an expansive lens for conceptualising violence and resistance is advanced across this research’s four studies. In Study I, I use discursive psychology to examine how Thembelihle has been constructed in dominant discourse by analysing newspaper reporting on the community. Following this, in Study II and Study III, I draw on multimodal discourse analysis to study representations of quotidian life and political resistance in a participatory documentary film entitled Thembelihle: Place of Hope, which was collaboratively produced by residents of Thembelihle, professional filmmakers and myself. Lastly, in Study IV, I harness the narrative-discursive approach to explore how residents of Thembelihle build community in response to Thembelihle: Place of Hope. It was found that within dominant constructions, Thembelihle was personified as a monolithic and an essentially Other geo-cultural space, made newsworthy principally through its engagement with a broad, often vaguely-conceived, notion of violence. In response to dominant discursive constructions of this kind, community members who featured in and produced the documentary advanced a humanistic conception of Thembelihle which did not accept the different violences to which the community is subject. Following this, audiences of the documentary engaged the affective and political dimensions of community-building in order to advance a democratically conceived notion of collective will. These findings present critical community psychologists and violence scholars with a number of considerations around representation; the multitudinous nature of violence and resistance; psycho-politics; and radical hope. Ultimately, I argue, if such research is to be meaningful, it must be guided by and subordinated to the emancipatory requirements articulated by community members. / Psychology / D.

South Africa is a country steeped in decades of conflict and animosity. Apartheid and its consequences do not simply die: it has created a society struggling for survival. Against the backdrop of a country and its people still experiencing an extended social crisis, these struggles are socially constructed through various forms of aggressive, traumatic and violent behaviours such as crime victimisation. The resultant effect is that many South Africans are traumatised and require assistance to manage and deal with the impact of traumatic exposure. Counselling and psychological services within the South African context are limited, potentially expensive and often inaccessible to the poor. One way to address the needs of victims of crime and violence, is through the establishment of one-stop multidisciplinary crisis centres that specialise in short term crisis intervention service delivery. One such a crisis centre is the Sinoville Crisis Centre (SCC). The purpose of the study is to present an exploratory qualitative and participatory action research account of the SCC's endeavours and ongoing challenges in providing crisis intervention services as well as to serve as a guideline for future development. Research interviews with seven (7) SCC counsellors were complimented with a focus group interview. Subsequent conclusions were grounded in relation to relevant subject theory. Three (3) broad categories of recommendations are provided. Specific recommendations are levelled in relation to: * The SCC's crisis intervention models * The SCC's need to manage organisational change and loss; and * The SCC's role within the Victim Empowerment Programme. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
