| dc.description.abstract | Research about intergenerational transmission of spouse abuse produced diverse results assigning different degrees of importance to parental abuse or to child witnessing of interparental violence as risk factors for future intimate partner violence. The present study analyses early experiences of abuse through childhood recollections of physical and emotional abuse and neglect and of witnessing interparental violence. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview specially conceived for this study. Some of the main issues explored were parental behaviour regulation, guidance, affection, attending child emotional needs and congruency between demands and expectancies and child development and interparental relationship and violence. Our participants are adults inmates arrested for violence or homicide against partner: twenty men and eight women arrested for murdering the partner and six men arrested for violence against the partner. A content analysis procedure was used to categorize the interviews transcripts. We did not find any regularity neither between mother or father's physical abuse or witnessing interparental violence and the perpetration of intimate partner violence as adult. On the contrary, emotional neglect is constantly present in the childhood experiences of the individuals. We discuss the importance of emotional neglect and emotional abuse for emotional regulation and attachment in romantic adult relationship accordingly to attachment theory and for the construction of beliefs about the self and others accordingly to schema-focused approach. | por |
