Cette thèse est consacrée aux problèmes de la dépendance des personnes âgées qui devient de plus en plus un sujet « brûlant » dans les sociétés vieillissantes d'aujourd'hui. La thèse se compose de trois chapitres indépendants qui traitent de différentes questions relatives à la dépendance en soulignant l'interaction entre trois institutions : la famille, l'état et le marché. Le Chapitre 1 se concentre sur l'interaction entre la famille et le marché en étudiant l'aléa moral intrafamilial qui est l'une des explications potentielles de « l'énigme de l'assurance dépendance », à savoir l'étonnamment faible demande d'assurance dépendance privée. L'argument de l'aléa moral intrafamilial, proposé par Pauly (1990), est basé sur l'idée que l'assurance incite les enfants à privilégier l'aide formelle pour leurs parents (et donc à réduire leur aide informelle) car le coût de l'aide formelle est (au moins en partie) couvert par l'assureur et donc réduit l'héritage futur des parents moins que dans le cas sans assurance. Les parents qui apprécient l'aide de leurs enfants peuvent donc renoncer à acheter une assurance. Le chapitre propose et étudie formellement l'idée que l'ampleur de l'aléa moral intrafamilial et, par conséquent, du non-achat d'assurance dépendance peut être différent dans le cas où les indemnités d'assurance sont forfaitaires et dans le cas où elles sont proportionnelles aux dépenses liées à la dépendance. Les résultats obtenus non seulement confirment formellement que les indemnités forfaitaires aident à limiter l'aléa moral intrafamilial mais aussi démontrent que dans certains cas elles éliminent complètement ce phénomène tandis que l'effet des indemnités proportionnelles est au mieux ambigu. Par conséquent, le chapitre montre qu'il est plus probable qu'un parent décide d'acheter une assurance dépendance quand les indemnités sont forfaitaires que quand elles sont proportionnelles. A partir de ces résultats, le chapitre propose également quelques observations sur la politique publique. Le rôle de l'intervention publique est étudié plus profondément dans le Chapitre 2 qui analyse la politique optimale de la dépendance dans le contexte de l'aléa moral intrafamilial. En plus de s'attaquer aux inefficacités présentes dans ce contexte, le chapitre traite les questions de redistribution liées à l'hétérogénéité de la richesse. L'analyse révèle que l'aléa moral intrafamilial est une justification suffisante pour l'intervention publique axée sur l'assurance: si non nécessairement pour l'introduction de l'assurance publique obligatoire, du moins pour la taxation ou le subventionnement des primes d'assurance privée. Alors que les deux premiers chapitres étudient la famille sous l'angle de la relation parent-enfant, le Chapitre 3 invite à considérer un autre contexte important mais pour le moment beaucoup moins analysé, à savoir le contexte des époux âgés. Le chapitre propose un modèle théorique des problèmes liés à la dépendance rencontrés par un couple âgé et étudie l'intervention publique optimale dans ce contexte ainsi que fournit des observations intéressantes concernant l'assurance dépendance privée pour la femme et pour l'homme. / Le résumé en anglais n'a pas été communiqué par l'auteur.

The most striking feature of hornbills (Bucerotiformes) is their unusual nesting behaviour. Before laying, a female hornbill enters the nest in a tree cavity. Uniquely among birds, she then seals the nest entrance using her faeces and locally available materials, leaving a narrow gap only 1 cm wide. Through this tiny slit, the female is totally dependent on her mate for between 40 days in the smallest hornbills and up to 130 days in the largest. Once walled in the nest, the female will lay her eggs and shed all of her wing and tail feathers. The male then becomes completely responsible for provisioning his mate and a few weeks later, the chicks. When her feathers have regrown, the female breaks out of the nest, often before the chicks are fully grown. The chicks then reseal the entrance until they too are ready to fledge. This thesis describes attempts to better understand the nesting behaviour of hornbills. The first chapter introduces hornbill ecology and behaviour and highlights their potential as model systems for studying conflict and communication. Chapter 2 describes the methods used to set up a study population of Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill (Tockus leucomelas) consisting of 47 occupied nest boxes, over 35km2 in the Southern Kalahari Desert, South Africa. Chapter 3 summarises behaviour over three breeding seasons from October 2008 to April 2011. Female feather moult followed a precise staggered pattern, unlike other populations. Widespread filial cannibalism by females of both eggs and chicks was observed for the first time. The possible proximate causes of cannibalism are explored. Egg cannibalism allowed females to recoup some of their energetic investment, while cannibalism of chicks served as an efficient mechanism of brood reduction for nests with low paternal feeding rate. Chapter 4 investigates how females communicate need for nesting materials to males. Females altered the rate and structure of their begging calls when experimentally deprived of nest lining and males in turn delivered more nest materials. Chapter 5 examines the factors that determine how long females remain in the nest. Females with larger broods stayed in the nest longer, irrespective of their own or their chicks’ condition or male feeding rates. This raises questions about the role of mothers in the nest. Chapter 6 addresses this issue, demonstrating that females controlled sibling competition in the nest. Experimental temporary removal of mothers led to increased intrabrood aggression and more uneven food distribution in the brood, with larger chicks taking a greater share. The final chapter draws these findings together and the potential for future research is discussed.

É uma pesquisa qualitativa, configurada nos moldes de Estudo de Caso, cuja referência de método é o de História de Vida, com utilização de narrativas biográficas. A análise busca compreender os diversos posicionamentos assumidos ou designados à mulher/mãe, como também considerar o lugar que diferentes marcadores identitários, articulados de modo interseccional, ocupam na sua experiência com o abuso sexual da filha. Além disso, são investigados tanto os aspectos consonantes com as normas estabelecidas, quanto as inflexões, incongruências, dilemas e subversão de verdades óbvias ou canônicas presentes em sua narrativa. De modo geral, a experiência de Carmen com o abuso sexual da filha é afetada pela imbricação de, pelo menos, três marcadores identitários: gênero, classe e raça. A relação que ela estabelece com a articulação entre essas categorias não é estável e combina, simultaneamente, variadas e contraditórias posições, cujos sentidos não são fixos e destinam-se a diferentes propósitos. Compreender a participação da mulher/mãe no abuso sexual a partir dessa perspectiva favorece o questionamento de práticas de controle e fiscalização em relação à eficácia ou não do cuidado que presta à criança abusada, e a negociação criativa e subversivamente de seus posicionamentos no contexto do abuso sexual. Todavia, isso se dá em condições de existência definidas, em um campo de significados estabelecidos, mesmo que não sejam fixos, que possibilitam escolhas limitadas. / This dissertation has the objective of understanding the stances assumed by a woman/mother in face of the sexual abuse committed against her daughter by her partner, and father of the abused child. It is a qualitative research configured in a Case Study format with a methodological reference based on the Life History and use of biographical narratives. The analysis attempts to understand the various stances assumed or designated to the woman/mother, as well as considering the place where different identity markers, articulated in an intersectional manner, interfere in her experience with her daughter´s sexual abuse. As well as investigating the aspects consonant with established norms, this study further investigates the inflexions, incongruences, dilemmas and subversion of the obvious or canonical truths present in her speech. Generally, Carmen´s experience with her daughter´s sexual abuse is affected by the overlapping of at least three identity markers: gender, class and race. The relation she establishes with the articulation of these categories is not stable and combines, simultaneously, several and contradictory positions, where meanings are not fixed and serve different purposes. To understand the participation of the woman/mother in the sexual abuse, and considering this perspective as a starting point, favours the questioning of control and supervision practices in relation to the efficacy of the care given to the abused child, and the creative negotiation and subversively of her thoughts regarding the sexual abuse context. This, however, takes place in a condition of established existence, in a field of defined meanings, even if they are not fixed and that allow for limited choices.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Family Studies and Human Services / Sandra M. Stith / While previous research has shown that some form of processing the trauma of IFCSA seems to occur for many IFCSA survivors, how the trauma of IFCSA is processed remains as a gap in the literature. In this exploratory study, I used qualitative methods to clarify what the nature of processing is and how it happens among IFCSA survivors. A phenomenological framework was utilized to understand the lived experience of processing IFCSA, which guided my main research question (What is the nature of how IFCSA is processed for some survivors?). Participants were recruited from the community via flyers, advertisements, and announcements. Seven eligible female participants completed two separate in-person semi-structured interviews. Participants also completed a timeline to organize their journeys in the first interview, and brought an object, or aesthetic representation, to represent their journeys of processing IFCSA in the second interview to triangulate data collection. To analyze the data, I used a constructivist grounded theory analysis approach. The general categories that emerged from the data in relation to processing IFCSA included the journey of processing IFCSA, the nature of processing IFCSA, and advice about processing IFCSA. The journey of processing included the individual journeys that each participant had been through. Participants described the nature of processing in terms of how they defined and experienced processing IFCSA experiences. For example, one participant’s definition of processing was the “uncomfortable process of really unpacking the implications of what actually happened. … acknowledging all the myriad ways that it’s actually affected you in your life. … And sort of personalizing what it is about that…has an affect on you.” Finally, advice from the participants for individuals, families, and helping professionals are described. Several participants recommended that victims seek help, as one participant discussed, “To me it’s not a stigma, a horrible thing, to go to counseling. That really it is for a healing, that it is another step of medically taking care of ourselves.” Clinical implications derived from this advice as well as from participants’ experiences processing IFCSA are discussed. Suggestions for future research to gain a better understanding about processing IFCSA are also discussed.

The method chosen was the clinical psychoanalistycal method. Four children, one girl and three boys, between 6 and 9 years old and their respectives mothers participated in this research. The instrument used was the group diagnosis that besides to intend making a psychodiagnosis it had as objective to help the group members developing skills to solve some of trouble and conflict which assail them. There were six meetings, each one lasted three hours, however only three of them were part of this analysis in which the narration of the meeting was thought as an narration of a dream and interpreted in accordance with psychoanalytical and groupanalytical reference. This study made possible the understanding of some of the group phenomenon as the acting out, the transference, the mirror condition and others. It permitted us concluding that the group process was a continuous, in the course of the meetings the group became using psyche organizer more mature and the defense mechanism that were primitive, in general, they were substitued for other less archaics. We verified that the group technique applied at toylibrary provides a rich atmosphere enough to make the members sensitive to their feelings, besides it had help the remeaning of some conflict that could be note by the change in themselves and in the relationship between themselves and the others. / A presente pesquisa teve como finalidade apresentar experi?ncias com um grupo de crian?as e suas m?es que vivem em situa??o de viol?ncia intrafamiliar e s?o atendidas na brinquedoteca do Programa ReCriando, bem como analisar essas experi?ncias buscando: estudar o processo grupal, investigar alguns aspectos emocionais deste processo e, por fim, compreender se a t?cnica de grupo foi suficiente para sensibilizar os participantes para conte?dos emocionais. O m?todo escolhido foi o m?todo cl?nico psicanal?tico. Participaram da pesquisa quatro crian?as com idades de 6-9 anos, sendo uma menina e tr?s meninos e suas respectivas m?es. O instrumento utilizado foi o grupo diagn?stico , que, al?m de pretender construir um psicodiagn?stico, teve como objetivo favorecer aos participantes do grupo condi??es para resolverem alguns dos problemas e conflitos que os acometem. Foram realizados seis encontros, com dura??o de tr?s horas cada, sendo que, desses, apenas tr?s fizeram parte da an?lise, na qual o relato do encontro foi pensado como se fosse o relato de um sonho e interpretado de acordo com o referencial psicanal?tico e grupanal?tico. Esse estudo possibilitou a compreens?o de alguns dos fen?menos grupais, como o acting out, a transfer?ncia, a condi??o de espelhamento e outros. Permitiu concluir que o processo grupal foi um cont?nuo. No decorrer dos encontros, o grupo passou a utilizar organizadores ps?quicos mais amadurecidos e os mecanismos de defesa, que eram geralmente primitivos, foram substitu?dos por outros menos arcaicos. Constatamos, ainda, que a t?cnica grupal, aplicada na brinquedoteca, propiciou um ambiente enriquecedor, suficiente para sensibilizar os participantes para suas emo??es, al?m de ter favorecido a ressignifica??o de alguns conflitos, percebidos em mudan?as no jeito de ser e de se relacionar consigo e com o outro.

A study was conducted to investigate and identify differences inherent in two subtypes of psychosis driven or mentally disordered homicide: matricide versus any other biological intrafamilial homicide or attempted homicide. Matricide was further investigated through the exploration of offence specific details, as well as demographic and diagnostic characteristics of persons who had committed (or attempted) homicide against the mother and were subsequently found not criminally responsible and detained by the Ontario Review Board between 1992 and 2012. Matricidal accused were more often diagnosed with childhood disorders and paranoid schizophrenia. As adults, they failed to mature sexually and socially, and continued to live at home, dependent on the mothers that were the ultimate victims of their violence. Attachment theory is offered as a proposed explanation for the matricidal impulse.

Este grupo encontra-se especialmente suscetível por necessitarem de cuidados complexos, muitas vezes constantes e regulares. Foi realizada uma pesquisa em duas fases distintas e interativas, a primeira quantitativa e a segunda, qualitativa. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram crianças e adolescentes com deficiência que eram atendidos em um hospital de referência, e seus cuidadores foram os informantes centrais do estudo. Na primeira fase foi aplicado o instrumento Parent Child Conflict Tactics Scales para aferição do tipo de violência intrafamiliar acometida. A segunda, por sua vez, constou de entrevistas com os cuidadores que apresentaram os maiores e os menores escores para violência no instrumento utilizado. Embora tenham sido detectados vários fatores de vulnerabilidade aos maus-tratos, as entrevistas revelaram a importância dos fatores de proteção na prevenção da violência intrafamiliar. Tendo em vista que este tipo de violência gera graves conseqüências àqueles por ela atingida, se torna fundamental que o profissional de saúde esteja atento a estas questões, não só na identificação das situações de violência, como também no reconhecimento dos fatores de vulnerabilidade e no incentivo aos fatores de proteção aos maus-tratos. / This research was aimed to analyze the protection and vulnerability factors to the violence among families with disable children and adolescent. This group finds itself especially susceptible since they need regular and complex care. A research was carried out in two phases: quantitative and qualitative. The study subjects were children and adolescents with disabilities who were treated at a referral hospital, and their caregivers were the main informants of the study. The first one included the application of the tool Parent Child Conflict Tactics Scales to evaluate the type of intrafamilial violence attack. The second part was comprised of interviews with the caregivers who presented the highest and the lower scores for violence, by considering the adopted tool. Notwithstanding the detection of vulnerability factors to maltreatment, the interviews have disclosed the importance of the protection factors in the prevention of the intrafamilial violence. Having in mind that this kind of violence generates serious consequences to those who are hit, it becomes paramount that every health professional is aware of these points, not only to identify the violence situations, but also in the recognition of the vulnerability factors and encouragement of the protection factors for maltreatment.

La présente étude trouve son point d’ancrage dans l’observation de l’honorable Nicholas Kasirer selon laquelle une incompatibilité d’humeur régnerait entre le droit de la responsabilité civile et la vie conjugale, rendant difficile la sanction des fautes commises entre conjoints sous l’égide du régime général de la responsabilité extracontractuelle. Pont jeté entre deux disciplines juridiques – le droit familial et le droit de la responsabilité extracontractuelle –, la réflexion ici proposée s’articule autour des inflexions subies par la norme en fonction du lien conjugal unissant les parties. Afin de cerner ces inflexions, l’auteur tourne d’abord son regard vers le passé, mettant en exergue les obstacles techniques et moraux ayant historiquement endigué l’effectivité du droit de la responsabilité extracontractuelle dans l’enceinte conjugale. Un tableau du traitement jurisprudentiel contemporain faisant état des diverses fautes relatives à la vie conjugale est ensuite dressé. Par cet exercice, certains comportements récemment assimilés à la commission d’une faute civile, comme l’aliénation parentale, sont mis en relief. À l’issue du portrait ici brossé, le lecteur sera à même de constater le glissement subi par les visées du droit de la responsabilité extracontractuelle dans ses interactions avec la cellule conjugale. D’abord utilisé comme outil de protection de l’institution matrimoniale, le régime général de la responsabilité extracontractuelle se présente de plus en plus comme un vecteur incontournable dans l’instauration d’un civisme conjugal élémentaire. / The present study revolves around an observation by the Honorable Nicholas Kasirer according to which an incompatibility of temperament exists between civil liability and conjugal life, making it difficult to sanction faults committed between spouses or de facto spouses by virtue of the extra- contractual liability regime. Drawing a connection between two legal disciplines - family law and civil liability - the proposed reflection revolves around the deviations incurred by the norm depending on the bond uniting the parties. In order to identify these deviations, the author first turns their gaze to the past, highlighting the technical and moral obstacles that have historically hindered the effectiveness of the law of extracontractual liability in the conjugal context. A picture of the contemporary jurisprudential treatment of the various faults relating to conjugal and married life is then drawn up. Through this exercise, certain behaviors recently assimilated to the commission of a civil fault, such as parental alienation, are highlighted. At the end of this portrait, the reader will be able to observe the shift incurred by the aims of the law of extracontractual liability as it interacts with the conjugal and marital cell. Initially used as a tool to protect the institution of marriage, the general regime of extra-contractual liability is increasingly seen as an essential vector in the establishment of a fundamental conjugal and marital civility.

Lors de l’élaboration du diagnostic de trouble pédophilique (DSM-5; APA, 2013), un critère basé sur un minimum de victimes avait été proposé pour poser le diagnostic lorsque les agresseurs sexuels d’enfants ne se reconnaissent pas d’attirance sexuelle déviante, et qu’une évaluation pléthysmographique de leurs intérêts sexuels n’est pas disponible ou invalide. Il avait aussi été proposé de créer des sous-types selon le groupe d’âge préféré sexuellement ou l’âge des victimes : pédophilique (victimes prépubères, 10 ans et moins), hébéphilique (victimes en début de puberté, 11-14 ans) ou pédohébéphilique (les deux). Ces propositions ont soulevé la controverse parmi les chercheurs et cliniciens et n’ont pas été acceptées en raison du manque de soutien empirique les appuyant. Cette thèse tente de répondre aux principaux questionnements soulevés : 1) Quels indices comportementaux devraient être utilisés pour évaluer la déviance sexuelle chez les agresseurs sexuels d’enfants intrafamiliaux et extrafamiliaux respectivement? 2) Le nombre d’interactions sexuelles avec un même enfant et la durée de la période des agressions sont-ils reliés à la déviance sexuelle? 3) Les agresseurs sexuels d’enfants en début de puberté présentent-ils des intérêts sexuels déviants? Le premier article est un commentaire sur le DSM-5 présentant les grandes lignes de la thèse et les résultats préliminaires des deux articles suivants. Le deuxième article vise à répondre aux deux premières questions. Des agresseurs sexuels d'enfants intrafamiliaux (n = 76) et extrafamiliaux (n = 93) sont comparés quant au nombre, l’âge et le sexe de leurs victimes, le nombre d’interactions sexuelles avec une même victime et la durée de la période des agressions, et leurs intérêts sexuels autorapportés ou évalués avec la pléthysmographie pénienne. Les relations entre ces indices comportementaux et la présence d'intérêts sexuels déviants sont évaluées pour les deux groupes. Les résultats suggèrent que : 1) différents indices comportementaux devraient être utilisés lors de l’évaluation des intérêts sexuels selon les groupes d’agresseurs; 2) des agressions répétées et de longues durées sur une même victime suggèrent la déviance sexuelle chez les agresseurs intrafamiliaux, alors qu’aucune relation n’est observée entre ces variables chez les agresseurs extrafamiliaux. Cette recherche ii constitue une première étape vers l’utilisation du nombre et de la durée des agressions sexuelles avec un même enfant lors de l’évaluation des intérêts sexuels des agresseurs sexuels d’enfants. Le troisième article vise à répondre à la dernière question énoncée. Des agresseurs sexuels d'enfants regroupés selon l’âge de leurs victimes, pédophilique (n = 75), hébéphilique (n = 44), pédohébéphilique (n = 49), sont comparés quant à différentes variables : nombre et sexe des victimes, historique criminel, et intérêts sexuels autorapportés ou mesurés avec la pléthysmographie. Les résultats montrent la présence d’intérêts sexuels déviants dans les mêmes proportions pour les trois groupes. Quant aux autres variables, les groupes « pédophilique » et « hébéphilique » se distinguent peu, mais ils diffèrent du groupe « pédohébéphilique ». Ces résultats appuient le chevauchement entre l’attirance sexuelle envers les enfants prépubères et l’attirance envers ceux en début de puberté, et soutiennent leur regroupement dans le diagnostic de trouble pédophilique. / Revisions proposed for the pedophilic disorder (DSM-5; APA, 2013) included a criterion based on a minimum victim count to diagnose pedophilia when child molesters do not acknowledge having sexual attraction towards children, and phallometric evaluation of their sexual interests is not available or invalid. It was also proposed to divide the diagnostic with subtypes based on the preferred age category or the victims’ age: pedophilic (10 year-olds and younger), hebephilic (11-14 year-olds), or pedohebephilic (both). These revisions generated controversies among researchers and clinicians, and they were not adopted due to the paucity of empirical evidence supporting these propositions. This doctoral thesis aims to answer the main questions that were raised: 1) What indicators should be used when assessing deviant sexual interests among intrafamilial and extrafamilial child molesters respectively?; 2) Are the number of sexual interactions and the period duration of the offenses on the same victim associated with sexual deviance? 3) Do early pubescent child molesters have deviant sexual interests? The first article is a commentary on the DSM-5 outlining the thesis and presenting the preliminary results of the two following articles. The second article aims to answer the first two questions. Intrafamilial child molesters (n = 76) and extrafamilial child molesters (n = 93) are compared on their victim count, victims’ age and gender, the number of sexual interactions and the period duration of the offenses on the same victim, and their sexual interests acknowledged or measured with penile plethysmography. Associations between these indicators and deviant sexual interests are assessed for both groups. The results suggest that: 1) different indicators of deviant sexual interests should be used according to the offenders’ group; 2) repeated sexual interactions on a long period on the same victim suggest sexual deviance among intrafamilial offenders, while there is no association between these variables among extrafamilial offenders. This research is a first step towards using the number of sexual interactions and the period duration of the offenses on the same victim when assessing sexual deviance among child molesters. iv The third article aims to answer the last question. Child molesters grouped according to their victims' age category, pedophilic (n = 75), hebephilic (n = 44), and pedohebephilic (n = 49), were compared on different variables: victim count, victims' gender, criminal history, and sexual interests measured with penile plethysmography and acknowledged. The results show deviant sexual interests in the same proportions among the three groups. As for the other variables, the pedophilic and hebephilic groups do not differ much, but they both differ from the pedohebephilic group. The results highlight the overlap between sexual attraction to prepubescent and attraction to early pubescent children, and support their inclusion in the same diagnostic.

This work is part of the research named Educar/criar sem violência: prevenção da violência física familiar contra crianças, which dealt with families whose children participate, or participated at the time of the research, in Escola de Circo, in Goiânia (GO), one of the extension programs of the Instituto Dom Fernando (IDF) at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC-Goiás). The present research is qualitative and all the process was based on the theoretical and methodological principles of Vigotski’s social-historical psychology, focusing on the historical and dialectical materialism perspective. Two families participated and members of three generations were interviewed: grandmother, mother, and child(ren). It is important to point out that one of the families participated with two children, totaling seven individuals. According to the core meanings of the participants, it was possible to apprehend the senses of intrafamilial physical violence against children attributed by each one of them. In a general perspective, physical violence against children was and continues being one of the main, if not the main, method used in the education of this three generations under study. Although it is a naturalized and banalized phenomenon for the interviewed grandmothers, mothers, and children, contradictorily, all these subjects expressed their suffering and/or affirmed their sorrow for having experienced such violence. In conclusion, each generation understands physical violence against children in a peculiar way: for the grandmothers, it is legitimated, although they reject the one that leaves physical marks in the body or the type they consider more severe; the mothers live a reflection about its use in their children’s education, although they find it difficult to interrupt the usage of this method of education; and finally, the children reported suffering when they are the victims, but it is difficult for them to imagine other models of education. / Neste estudo, buscou-se apreender os sentidos da violência física intrafamiliar contra crianças atribuídos por três gerações de famílias de classe popular. Este trabalho constitui um recorte da pesquisa intitulada Educar/criar sem violência: prevenção da violência física familiar contra crianças, realizada com famílias cujos filhos frequentam, ou frequentavam na época da pesquisa, a Escola de Circo, em Goiânia (GO), um dos programas de extensão do Instituto Dom Fernando (IDF) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC-Goiás). A presente pesquisa enquadra-se no tipo qualitativo e todo o seu processo foi pautado nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da psicologia sócio-histórica de Vigotski, fundamentados na perspectiva do materialismo histórico e dialético. Participaram como sujeitos duas famílias, entrevistando-se membros de três gerações: avó, mãe e criança(s). Ressalva-se que em uma família foram entrevistadas duas crianças, totalizando sete sujeitos. A partir dos núcleos de significação dos sujeitos, apreenderam-se os sentidos da violência física intrafamiliar contra crianças para cada um deles. De forma geral, a violência física contra crianças foi e continua sendo um dos principais, se não o principal, método utilizado na educação/criação dos filhos das três gerações participantes. Identificou-se, porém, que embora seja um fenômeno naturalizado e banalizado pelas avós, mães e crianças entrevistadas, contraditoriamente, todos estes sujeitos expressaram sofrimento e/ou afirmaram seu pesar ao vivenciar tal violência. Concluiu-se que cada geração entende a violência física contra crianças de forma singular: para as avós, ela é legitimada, embora rejeitem a que deixa marcas físicas no corpo ou aquela que consideram mais grave; já as mães vivem uma reflexão sobre o seu uso na educação/criação dos filhos, embora encontrem dificuldade em interromper a aplicação deste método; por fim, as crianças relatam sofrimento ao serem vítimas, mas têm dificuldade em imaginar outros modelos de educação/criação.
