Positivistic Childhood Verbal Abuse

These days it is easy to read on the internet about a woman who has been beaten by her professional athlete husband or her boyfriend. Thousands of women are mistreated, or even murdered, each year and these deaths are increasing. However, although this is the main problem in our society,there are other kinds of domestic violence that not many people know but they have the same importance. In this essay I intent to give a definition of domestic violence and explain the main kinds of abuses.I will also suggest some possible solutions to diminish or to eliminate this problem and I will show some domestic indicators. I intend to argue some unhelpful behaviours and to finish I will discuss the effects of domestic violence in children.

When children experience a traumatic event, not only does it affect their emotions but it can affect many areas of development if not all of them. Equally, health and learning difficulties can also have a less desirable effect on holistic development. By looking at how such factors can affect child development, we can work towards finding a suitable learning method and helping children overcome and recover from their experiences.

The present research is aimed at providing an account of early childhood abuse and its effects on further emotional development. A first focus falls on outlining the psychological stages of emotional development and the notion of emotional response, followed by a thorough analysis of the child abuse spectrum together with effects, both early and belated, of general and most notably socio-emotional nature.

The importance of Childhood Trauma is associated with the way children react later on in their life, as it plays an important role. There are several different types of maltreatment that are associated with abuse that can harm the child in the long run. Any type of physical abuse, emotional abuse or sexual abuse contributes to the negative affects that can change the child’s personality. If the child’s parents obtain physical neglect or emotional neglect, it can factor in changing a child’s moods, as it causes them to change into a different person. This experience causes them to develop different types of personality disorders such as Antisocial, Borderline, Narcissistic, Paranoia, Schizoid, and Schizotypal. Many children are affected through the terrible experience which develops mistrust in the world, and later causes them to turn against society because of the constant neglect that is inflicted onto them.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) such as neglect and abuse have the capacity to increase the likelihood of disease, social problems, sexual issues and mental health issues later in adulthood. A dysfunctional home life experience as a child also is also implemented and impacts physical, mental, social and sexual health and wellbeing as an adult.

For the purpose of this assignment, the intention is to describe the four theoretical models of child abuse. The 4 models that I will be looking at are; the medical model of abuse, sociological model of abuse, psychological model of abuse and the feminist model of abuse. I will also be looking at the aspects of the theories that are similar or different. To conclude I also intend to evaluate the four theoretical models of abuse by identifying the advantages and disadvantages.

The formative experiences that define a child's home life will have a lasting impact on the individual as he or she enters the later stages of childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The degree to which one's family life is loving, nurturing, supportive and attentive is a substantial determinant in emotional, social and intellectual development. Accordingly, a home which is abusive, violent, negative and neglectful is more than likely to have deleterious effects for the child both while and well after maintaining residence there. This turns us toward the focus of the present study, which is the impact levied by domestic violence on children.

The article discusses how that adversity and harsh conditions during the early childhood can have strong psychological effects that can harm an individual causing throughout their life. The article discusses how early environmental influences can affect an individual’s learning abilities as well as having a permanent effect on the individual’s adult behavior.

During the study it has been found that victims that have suffered childhood abuse also have exposure to multiple types of abuse such as maltreatment and bullying. Also the effect depends on

As the dominant discourse would suggest, female victims of domestic violence face not only the debilitating psychological and physical traumas of abuse

Often, when negative childhoods have been experienced, when the child becomes and adult, they will either change the cycle by adapting their parenting styles to rectify what they felt was unjust, whereas some may repeat negatives and this then becomes a cyclical pattern of parenting, thus leading to insecure attachments, behavioural issues, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse, crime,

“Childhood years are vital for developing life skills. Negative experiences within the home or at school - due to family conflict or play-ground bullying, for instance - have a damaging effect on the development of these core cognitive and emotional skills .”(Taken from: http://www.who.int/) Risks to mental health include family violence or conflict, negative life events, and a low sense of connection to schools or other learning environments. At their worst, exposure to such risks - as a result of persistent beating, severe bullying, parental loss or abuse - can cause a level of trauma that has an indelible effect over the rest of the person's life.”(Taken from: http://www.who.int/)

This paper will contest the claims that only women are survivors/victims of domestic abuse. It will focus on the female and male experience of domestic abuse, in order to identify any differences or similarities between them. This will done through semi-structured interviews conducted by myself, the researcher. The participants taking part will be two men and two women who have previously been in a heterosexual relationship. In which they was domestically abused by their partner. The data gathered from the interviews will then be analysed using thematic analysis. Once the data is analysed it will present the findings of the research. The findings from the analysis, have shown that domestic abuse does not specially target a particular gender.

a. The psychological and Emotional issues investigated included psychosomatic problems and self-esteem. It was hypothesized that adolescents who have experienced unwanted family problem. It leads to student to constantly needed approval, lots of things to get attention, and sensationalized/dramatized lots of thing.

In introduction this paper is going discuss, based on psychological theories, what impact and effects witnessing domestic violence can have on children. The purpose of this paper is to further an understanding on explaining its consequences based on a few psychological theories. It will begin with defining what domestic violence in order to get a clear indication on what it actually involves and further presenting a sample papers studying the question, on its impact and effect, it is suggested to have on children, in order to produce a paper with both high validity and reliability. Then moving onto presenting various psychological theories which on could considered relevant to the topic in question. By further engaging in a discussion in attempt to highlight and acknowledge several aspects regarding its consequences.
