Orientadora: Lídia Maria Vianna Possas / Banca: Paulo Eduardo Teixeira / Banca: Lilian Henrique de Azevedo / Resumo: A pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar os impactos da implementação da Lei Maria da Penha/2006, após a confirmação de sua constitucionalidade (2012), priorizando relatos orais de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica residentes na cidade de Marília e região. O método utilizado baseado na História Oral foi entendido como instrumento analíticometodológico para apreender as experiências vividas e as trajetórias de vida femininas evidenciando que elas são sujeitos da história e portadoras de direitos. O acesso ao método das oralidades nos possibilitou trazer indagações a respeito das dificuldades a elas apresentadas em relatar a sua história diante do processo traumático e de violência a que foram submetidas. Foi possível evidenciar as resistências do judiciário local quanto à aplicabilidade da Lei Maria da Penha e a interiorização da dor, sofrimento e silêncio rodeados pela desproteção e descaso que as rodeiam, quando, ao procurarem atendimentos especializados, não são respaldadas pela lei. Essas mulheres foram consideradas por nós sobreviventes da violência doméstica e de cada ato violento cometido contra elas, tornando-se prisioneiras dos seus próprios lares ao longo dos anos. Deste modo, na prática, a lei se encontra falha quanto a sua real efetivação e aplicabilidade na cidade de Marília e em outras cidades do país e as dificuldades e barreiras para sua implementação são de ordem material e de recurso humano, como também os fatores culturais e as representações de gênero arraigados na mentalidade daqueles que são ou foram responsáveis por sua execução. Diante desse cenário pudemos problematizar as múltiplas identidades femininas que no processo de identificação assumem e produzem uma variedade de possibilidades e novas posições, tornando as identidades mais posicionadas, políticas, plurais, menos fixas e unificadas compreendendo... / Abstract: The research aims to identify the impacts of the implementation of the Maria da Penha Law / 2006, after confirming its constitutionality (2012), prioritizing oral histories of women in situations of domestic violence living in the city of Marilia and region. The method based on oral history was understood as an analytical and methodological tool to learn the experiences and female life histories showing that are subjects of history and rights holders. Access to the method of orality has enabled us to bring questions about the difficulties presented to them in reporting their story before the traumatic process and violence to which they were subjected. It was possible to highlight the local judiciary's resistance to the applicability of the Maria da Penha Law and the internalization of pain, suffering and silence surrounded by defenselessness and indifference around them, when to seek specialized care, are not backed by law. These women were considered by us survivors of domestic violence and every violent act committed against them, becoming prisoners of their own homes over the years. Thus, in practice, the law is failure as its actual effectiveness and applicability in the city of Marilia and other cities of the country and the difficulties and obstacles to its implementation are material and human resource policy, as well as cultural factors and representations of gender rooted in the mentality of those who are or were responsible for their implementation. In this scenario we discuss the multiple female identities in the identification process take and produce a variety of possibilities and new positions, making the most positioned identities, policies, plurals, less fixed and unified understanding how are (re) signified the identity papers of a woman, mother, companion, housewife and professional those women who constantly take on new positions beyond daily survival. Finally, the research... / Mestre

É uma pesquisa qualitativa e os participantes são constituídos de três adolescentes integrantes do Projeto Sentinela, no município de Godoy Moreira/PR, que visa dar assistência pedagógica, social e psicológica a adolescentes vítimas de qualquer forma de violência. As técnicas utilizadas são: entrevista semiestruturada, análise do prontuário do Projeto Sentinela para conhecimento da história de vida do adolescente, visita domiciliar e o genossociograma. O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado é o psicanalítico, que considera os “não ditos” que se fazem presentes e a relação que se estabelece entre o participante e o pesquisador. Temas como adolescência, violência familiar, transmissão psíquica, o papel psicológico da família na atualidade e a aplicação da psicanálise no contexto social são discutidos na fundamentação teórica do trabalho, e possibilitam a análise do material obtido por meio das técnicas utilizadas. Os dados obtidos nos revelam uma postura de submissão diante da figura paterna e, por conseqüência, a concordância em relação à violência sofrida. O vínculo libidinal de filiação e a função paterna são fatores que favorecem a existência da transmissão psíquica nos casos estudados, interferindo no conceito de violência presente nos participantes deste trabalho e, de alguma forma, interferindo também no conceito de masculinidade. / This work aims to achieve a reading of the meanings of family violence in adolescent males, victims of physical violence exercised by the father, considering the psychic spaces. It is a qualitative research and the participants consist of three teenage members of Project Sentinel, the city of Godoy Moreira / PR, which aims to assist educational, social and psychological care to victims of adolescents any form of violence. The techniques used are: semi-structured interview, review of medical records of Project Sentinel to know the life story of the teenager, home visits and genossociograma. The theoretical and methodological reference is psychoanalysis, which considers the no such that are present and that relationship is established between the participant and the researcher. Issues such as adolescence, family violence,transmission mental, the psychological role of the family at present and the application of psychoanalysis in the social context are discussed in the theoretical foundation of the work, and enable the analysis of material obtained through the techniques used. The data show in a posture of submission before the paternal figure and, consequently, the agreement in relation to the violence suffered. The link libidinal membership and function of paternal are factors that favor the existence of psychic transmission in the cases studied, interfering with this concept of violence in this work and participating in some way interfering in the concept of masculinity.

[pt] A presente dissertação visa discutir o processo e a prática de acolhimento familiar, onde crianças e adolescentes, normalmente, são vítimas de violência doméstica. O acolhimento, enquanto apoio social, ocorre no Brasil desde os tempos de colonização, porém nos atemos somente aos casos mediados pelo poder público ocorridos depois da promulgação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, ou seja, a partir da década de 1990. Especificamente no período de 1997 a 2005. Por acolhimento familiar entende-se: a prática que leva a um sujeito, criança, adolescente ou adulto a conviver como membro transitório ou definitivo de outra família que não é a família na qual nasceu conforme define a psicóloga Argentina Matilde Luna (2001:17). Pode ser considerado uma alternativa à institucionalização para algumas crianças e adolescentes quando se pensa no seu caráter provisório e transitório. Vale ressaltar que é um processo amplo e diferenciado de acordo com a sociedade e cultura em questão. As questões que norteiam nossa análise estão relacionadas aos aspectos que parecem aumentar a probabilidade de permanência de crianças e adolescentes em sua família de origem após a participação em um processo formal1 de acolhimento familiar. Esses aspectos não foram anteriormente problematizados pelos programas aos quais tivemos acesso. Utilizamos as categorias violência doméstica e acolhimento familiar. Para alcançar os objetivos foram entrevistados diversos atores envolvidos no processo de acolhimento familiar: famílias, técnicos e gestores dos projetos. Foram escolhidas quatro regiões do município do Rio de Janeiro e ouvidos representantes de projetos situados em outras cinco localidades do país2: Belo Horizonte- MG, Franca-SP, São Bento do Sul - SC, Campinas-SP e São Paulo-SP. Os resultados aqui encontrados estão dentro do limite do nosso escopo de pesquisa possibilitando a resposta a algumas perguntas e discussão de suposições. / [en] The paper in focus aims to discuss the process and practice of the foster care where children and teenagers are usually victims of the household violence. The foster care as a social support has been taken place in Brazil since the colonial period. But we are only going to study the cases under the public power that have been happened after the Child and Teenager Statute, since 1990. Only from 1997 to 2005. Foster care means the practice that takes a guy, a child, a teenager or an adult to deal with a passing or permanent member from another family, someone that is not from the family where he or she was born, according to Matilde Luna´s opinion, a psychologist from Argentina. It can be considered as an alternative from institutionalization for some children and teenager when it´s temporary and transitory. It´s a large and different process according to the society and culture. Our analyses are related to the aspects that may increase the permanence probability in the original family after they have been had under a formal3 foster care. These aspects have not been studied through the programs we´ve attended. Household violence and foster care were the categories used. To reach our goals we interviewed several actors involved in the foster care process: families, technicians and other people who are engaged in the projects. Four regions from Rio de Janeiro and another five4 different regions in Brazil where chosen in our research. The results found are within our reach. We may answer some questions and discuss about everything.

Limited research has examined desistance from intimate partner violence (IPV). In this thesis the aims are to explore the role that individual, social/environmental factors and subjective change (personal agency) play in the process of desistance from male perpetrated IPV, and to develop and examine a multifactorial theory of desistance from male perpetrated IPV. As research about desistance has tended to more prominent in the criminological literature and in relation to general offending and delinquency, the aim of the first part of this thesis was to undertake two critical reviews on desistance from violence and desistance from IPV. It was found that research in these areas has been neglected. It was concluded that a psychological approach to desistance is required whereby the findings are integrated into the models developed in the criminological literature, in order to develop a multifactorial theory of desistance. Specifically, it was found that pertinent to IPV, severity and frequency of violence was related to desistance and typology research indicated that personality characteristics might distinguish desisters from persisters. The nature of the dyad within which the IPV takes place was also found to be relevant specifically to the study of desistance from IPV and therefore, in need of further examination. In the empirical study, group comparisons on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III subscales were conducted between a purposive sample of 37 desisters, 50 persisters and 49 controls. It was found that Cluster A and Cluster B disorders and disorders at a diagnostic level were more often reported in the groups that had used violence against an intimate compared to the control group. The rates and percentages of clinically meaningful traits and disorders were lower for the desisters than the persisters. Overall the desisters were more like the controls than the persisters across the personality traits and clinical syndromes measured. In the qualitative study, thematic analysis was conducted on data derived from interviews with 13 desisters, nine persisters, nine treatment facilitators and seven survivors. A conceptual model of desistance was developed that demonstrated desistance from IPV is a dynamic process that gradually unfolds over time. The model comprised three global themes: (i) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (violent): ‘Old way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they used violence); (ii) Catalysts for change (the triggers and transitions experienced that initiated change); and (iii) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (non-violent); ‘New way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they stopped using violence). The integrated findings illustrate that the path from persistence to desistance is neither linear, nor shared by all IPV offenders. A complex interaction between structure and agency characterised the process. Future research needs to adopt a longitudinal design to gain a clearer understanding of the temporal sequencing of events leading to desistance, and also to determine whether the characteristics that differentiated the groups studied change over time. In addition, it is proposed that individual assessment is required for each offender of IPV. Treatment could then be developed to meet individual needs, which may increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation for IPV perpetrators.

Thesis (M.A. (Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2015 / The aim of the study was to explore the psychological profiles of perpetrators of domestic violence as represented in newspaper articles. An archival research approach was chosen as the appropriate design for the present study. The researcher accessed and studied all newspaper articles from two daily newspapers reporting on domestic violence over a two-year period (that is, from January 2011 up to December 2012). A total of 98 newspaper articles (sixty from the Sowetan newspaper, and 38 thirty eight from the Daily Sun newspaper) covering the period under review were retrieved. The data was captured on a self-developed data record sheet. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The results were analysed and presented using frequency tables, descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations. The results of the study showed that the majority of the victims of domestic violence were women with little education and skills. Assault, attempted murder and murder were found to be the forms of violence perpetrated against the victims. The majority of the perpetrators (70.4%) were males, with higher education and skills. Some of the perpetrators were represented in the newspaper articles as being emotionally troubled (69.4%), passively aggressive (11.2%), mentally disturbed (5.1%) and socially deviant (3.1%). The majority of the mental health problems that were associated with the perpetrators of domestic violence included depression, borderline personality and acute psychosis. A number of triggers were found to lead to domestic violence. These included family arguments, jealousy, substance abuse, and criminal behaviour. Based on the above results, the study is concluded by recommending anger and stress management as some of the programmes that the government could introduce to minimise domestic violence.
