Reporting, Reflecting and Recognising Emotions in Therapeutic Work with Domestic Violence Perpetrators : Experiences of the Jyväskylä Group Model
2020
Emotions are central in therapeutic work, but interventions for violence vary in how they address emotions. While emotional work with perpetrators is often associated with ‘anger management’ and behavioural elements, a more comprehensive view of emotions might be beneficial in efforts to stop and prevent violent behaviour. Perpetrators’ self-regulation can be promoted by recognising and addressing primary feelings (vulnerability, fear, jealousy, etc.) that may manifest as anger and aggressive behaviour. However, this kind of therapeutic work with perpetrators of violence is also challenging for professionals. For example, when working towards ending violence, it is crucial to differentiate …
The Perpetrator's mise-en-scene: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide
2018
Rithy Panh's film S-21. The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) was the result of a three-year shooting period in the Khmer Rouge centre of torture where perpetrators and victims exchanged experiences and re-enacted scenes from the past under the gaze of the filmmaker's camera. Yet, a crucial testimony was missing in that puzzle: the voice of the prison's director, Kaing Guek Eav, comrade Duch. When the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) were finally established in Phnom Penh to judge the master criminals of Democratic Kampuchea, the first to be indicted was this desk criminal. The film Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (R. Panh, 2011) deploys a new confrontation – an a…
La memoria de los verdugos de 1936 y la cultura de la impuni(bili)dad en la democracia posfranquista
2020
UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Este texto se interesa por los efectos de la producción académica sobre la construcción social del victimario, y se centra en el caso de los victimarios de la guerra española de 1936 y su estatus en la cultura de la democracia posfranquista. Escoge dos obras de especialistas dirigidas al público amplio y rastrea a partir de ellas cómo el tratamiento de los victimarios se encuentra predefinido por un marco que exonera de partida a determinados posibles perpetradores al figurar en la nómina de intelectuales y artistas que conforman el canon cultural del siglo XX. El enfoque alternativo que propone consiste en combinar una hermenéutica de los testimonios de posi…
Perpetrators fathers: Perspectives from the sons and daughters of Argentinian repressors
2020
En el presente artículo propongo abordar la figura del perpetrador elaborada desde la mirada de los hijos e hijas de represores en Argentina, es decir la representación del “padre perpetrador”. Esta perspectiva viene a agregar un nuevo capítulo a la tradición sobre el represor que ahora es revisitada por sus propios hijos, en especial aquellos hijos/as desobedientes que reniegan y se distancian de sus padres. Nos interesa señalar la reciente creación en 2017 del colectivo Historias Desobedientes: Familiares de genocidas por la Memoria, la Verdad y la Justicia ya que constituye una nueva voz con sus peculiares aportes y demandas en las políticas y prácticas de la memoria. Si bien partimos de…
Attitudes and motivation in the treatment of IPV : a case study of two intimately violent men
2017
This case study used qualitative content analysis to examine the cases of two intimately violent men. Both participated in a group intervention but experienced dramatically different outcomes. In the case of "Henri", the intervention was especially successful, but in the case of "Mikael" it was unsuccessful. The data of this study consisted of the video tapes of the men’s therapy sessions, and of the interviews of their spouses. The research questions were the following: 1) Were there changes in the men’s attitudes toward a) women, b) masculinity and c) violent behavior?, 2) How high was the men’s motivation for treatment and making changes in themselves? and 3) Did their attitudes and moti…
Sobre el testimonio del perpetrador en 'Flughunde' de Marcel Beyer. Desenmascarando sus dispositivos lingüísticos y discursivos
2020
En la novela Flughunde, publicada en 1995, Marcel Beyer, un autor de la tercera genera-ción nacido en 1965 y, por lo tanto, sin vivencias directas ni de la época del nazismo ni de la posgue-rra, articula, a partir de una serie de datos históricos relacionados con la muerte de los hijos de Magda y Joseph Goebbels, una ficción en la que se plantea la cuestión de la fiabilidad de los testigos, funda-mentalmente, cuando se trata de relatos de perpetradores. El objetivo del artículo es analizar cómo la novela aborda la representación del perpetrador, así como descubrir las estrategias discursivas del texto para desenmascarar el discurso del perpetrador, que intenta ocultar su responsabilidad en …
Violence against women in heterosexual couples: A review of psychological and medico-legal considerations.
2021
Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is the most pervasive violation of women’s rights worldwide, causing devastating lifelong damage. Victims can suffer physical, emotional or mental health problems, and experience detrimental effects in social, psychological and relational health with their families, especially children. Due to the complexity regarding violence against women in heterosexual couples, it is important to make a clear distinction between psychological and physical mistreatment, which also includes psychological violence. This differentiation is important in determining different emotional and psychological aspects of mistreatment in order to understand the reasons …
Violenza di prossimità. La vittima, il carnefice, lo spettatore e il "grande occhio"
2013
Il volume trova il suo incipit nella constatazione di come, rispetto al passato, la violenza di genere non è rivolta a donne estranee al contesto dei propri carnefici, bensì alle stesse partner – alle donne quindi più prossime ‒ con cui essi condividono una relazione di intimità. L’autrice indica tale violenza, con una scelta terminologica di campo, come “ “violenza di prossimità” per sottolineare come essa venga agita dal “più vicino nella reciproca referenza”. Essa è autosufficiente (1), autoimmune (2) ed escludente il conflitto (3). Si innesta in un contesto oppressivo e rituale, costituendo “quindi” l’asse portante della relazione e definendo pur nella varietà delle modalità – fisiche, …
Differences in treatment adherence, program completion, and recidivism among batterer subtypes
2017
Abstract The present study aimed to cross-validate Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's typology in a Spanish sample of court-referred intimate partner violence batterers. The study also analyzed the typology's capability to predict treatment attendance, completion, and IPV recidivism two years after the treatment. The sample consisted of 210 batterers court referred to a batterer intervention program. Using cluster analysis, three batterer subtypes were identified in accordance with the original typology: family-only batterers, borderline/dysphoric, and generally violent-antisocial. The typology predicted program attendance, completion, and recidivism. Batterers from the generally violent-antiso…
Discourses of sexual violence: A critical analysis of the representation of victims and perpetrators on Twitter
2023
Esta tesis investiga críticamente los recursos y patrones lingüísticos utilizados por los tuiteros para debatir sobre discursos de género y opresión patriarcal en relación con la violencia sexual. Este estudio tiene dos objetivos principales: 1) examinar los discursos e ideologías de los tuiteros respecto a la violencia sexual y cómo estos contribuyen a la negociación de las identidades de víctima-perpetrador, y 2) identificar el papel del lenguaje evaluativo en la (re)producción y resistencia de discursos e ideologías de género. Para ello, esta tesis toma como caso de estudio la controvertida nominación del juez asociado Brett Kavanaugh al Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos. Tras hacer…
