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 …
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…
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…
Alexithymia as a Predictor of Arousal and Affect Dysregulations when Batterers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Cope with Acute Stress
2020
Empirical research has stated that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) might underlie intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) perpetration. Even though there is a clear relationship between these two variables, it is still unknown how ADHD facilitates violence proneness. In this regard, psychophysiological variables such as skin conductance levels (SCL) might offer information about emotional regulation when individuals cope with stress. Furthermore, alexithymia traits might be a strong candidate in explaining the above-mentioned emotional dysregulations. Hence, we compared the SCL response to acute cognitive stress in IPVAW perpetrators with and without ADHD symptoms to…
Über die Verfügbarmachung des Mythos für die Symbolisierung politischer Zeitgeschichte. Ilse Langners Drama "Iphigenie und Orest"
2020
Ilse Langner's drama "Iphigenie und Orest (1977 manuscript) pivots on a historical sequence of events: war, rescue and exile, merciless revenge after the war. Why is the plot set in a Greek mythological setting? The use of myth considerably extends the frame of references, which in turn necessarily surpasses documentary correctness. The dramatist already provided a world model to the dramatist of the Atreidean myth, which focuses on basic questions of violence-stricken human existence (while Goethe formed Iphigenie as a model of humanitarianism that overcomes violence). Langner's Anti-Iphigenie shows the spiral of violence as a challenge for the post-idealist 20th century.
