Through the presentation of clinical cases, the author argues that the traumatic consequences on children who witness the violent relationship between parents are similar in cases of conflict between couples and in cases of maltreatment by the father on the mother. The concept of witnessing violence should therefore also be extended to situations of violent marital conflict. The author urges psychotherapists to pay more attention to the signs of witnessing violence in the family, so that appropriate protection and care interventions are activated. https://www.pagepress.org/socialsciences/rp/article/view/227Assisted intrafamily violencetraumaabuseconflictpsychotherapy |
