Pathways from witnessing parental violence during childhood to involvement in intimate partner violence in adult life: The roles of depression and substance use

Abstract

Intergenerational transmission models of IPV through exposure during childhood can help to explain the high rates of domestic violence in Brazil. Our findings provide evidence to implement targeted prevention strategies where they are needed most: the victims of premature adverse experiences.

A violência nas relações de intimidade entre os adolescentes sob a perspectiva do Paradigma da Complexidade

“…Ao procurar elaborar novos significados e romper com reducionismos, o princípio do recurso organizacional revela que ações e vivências violentas nos relacionamentos são produtos e produtores de outras experiências e condutas. Este aspecto torna-se claro na bidirecionalidade, evidenciada em diversos estudos nacionais e internacionais, em que ambos os sexos, mutuamente se agrediam e eram agredidos (FLAKE et al, 2013;BARREIRA;LIMA;AVANCI, 2013;BARREIRA et al, 2014;DARDIS et al, 2014;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;TANAKA;WEKERLE, 2014;BESERRA et al, 2015;LINDNER, 2015;ALLY et al, 2016;CECCHETTO et al, 2016;FILIPA, 2016;MADRUGA et al, 2017;COELHO; SILVA; LINDNER, 2018).…”
