Rezumat

Acest studiu este o sinteză a cercetărilor privind violenţa în familie realizate în ultimele patru decenii. Problema violenţei domestice a devenit din ce în ce mai vizibilă, fiind definită ca o problemă socială şi familială din anii 1980. Ştim că violenţa intimă şi familială este extinsă, are loc în întreaga societate, cultură şi timp istoric şi în toate grupurile rasiale, etnice, socio-culturale şi economice. Scopul acestui studiu a fost de a răspunde la următoarele întrebări de cercetare: Violenţa partenerului intim este o problemă pentru bărbaţi sau femei? De ce femeile stau alături de partenerii lor agresori? Care sunt fazele şi sarcinile din cadrul procesului de luare a deciziei de a părăsi o relaţie violentă? Este asimetria simbolică a genului un factor favorizant al violenţei partenerului intim? Ce putem face? Cum putem preveni mai bine fenomenul? Sursele acestei sinteze sunt cele găsite în literatura anglo-saxonă. Concluzia subliniază că violenţa intimă şi familială nu este o chestiune privată, ci o problemă socială importantă, nu doar o problemă a femeilor, ci şi una de bărbaţilor agresivi şi a societăţii în ansamblul ei.
