Abstract:

We aimed at investigating the association of psychological violence (PV) in adolescence with socio-demographic factors, structure/family relationships and other forms of maltreatment. A questionnaire was applied to 229 adolescents (11-18 years) in outpatient services in a state-run tertiary pediatric hospital. It was found that 26.4% of respondents suffered severe PV in the family context, and only five of the 229 respondents reported they did not suffer any PV in the family context, showing how this kind of violence is seen as a commonplace form of family relationship. The most common behaviors of PV were: being criticized for what one does or says, not being encouraged when you try to act autonomously, being called nasty names and having an adult telling you that you are wrong when you try to act. Dissatisfaction of parents with the teenager, the nuclear family structure, the position of the child among siblings sharing the same parents were associated with the PV occurring within the family. The health sector, enabling to detect signs of PV, can promote the right to comprehensive health of adolescents, confirming itself as a major social sector capable of acting preventively on the forms of violence suffered and practiced by the family group.
