The Batterer as Parent de Lundy Bancroft

The Batterer as Parent

Autor Lundy Bancroft, Jay G. Silverman, Daniel Ritchie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2011

Analiza comportamentului patern al bărbaților agresori reprezintă o temă critică pentru sistemele de protecție a copilului, iar The Batterer as Parent abordează frontal această realitate. Observăm cum autorii, în frunte cu Lundy Bancroft, demontează mitul conform căruia un bărbat poate fi un partener violent, dar un tată bun. Textul debutează prin definirea profilului agresorului, trecând rapid către capitolul central: impactul „undelor de șoc” asupra căminului, unde este analizată subminarea autorității materne și utilizarea copiilor ca instrumente de control.

Această a doua ediție aduce actualizări esențiale privind diversitatea culturală și, mai ales, o integrare mai profundă a perspectivei copilului în dinamica familială toxică. Subliniem rigoarea cu care este tratată corelația dintre violența domestică și riscul de abuz sexual, capitolul dedicat incestului fiind unul dintre cele mai dificile, dar necesare segmente ale lucrării. Structura este concepută pentru a servi drept ghid procedural, oferind tabele ilustrative și studii de caz care facilitează evaluarea riscului în procesele de custodie.

În contextul operei lui Lundy Bancroft, această carte funcționează ca un fundament tehnic pentru lucrările sale mai accesibile publicului larg, precum Why Does He Do That? sau When Dad Hurts Mom. Dacă Parenting by Men Who Batter de Jeffrey L. Edleson oferă o perspectivă interdisciplinară similară asupra rolului patern, The Batterer as Parent se distinge printr-o abordare mai aplicată, bazată pe experiența directă a autorilor cu peste 2000 de bărbați abuzivi. Este o resursă care transformă observația clinică în instrumente de intervenție pentru personalul din tribunalele de familie și asistenții sociali.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor care lucrează în protecția copilului și dreptul familiei. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care violența domestică alterează iremediabil funcția de părinte, primind instrumente concrete pentru a evalua siguranța copiilor în cazurile de custodie. Este o lectură esențială pentru a trece dincolo de aparențele unui „tată implicat” și a recunoaște tacticile de control care afectează dezvoltarea minorilor.

Descriere scurtă

The Batterer as Parent is a guide for therapists, child protective workers, family and juvenile court personnel, and other human service providers in addressing the complex impact that batterers - specifically male batterers of a domestic partner when there are children in the household - have on family functioning. In addition to providing an understanding of batterers as parents and family members, the book also supplies clearly delineated approaches to such practice issues as: assessing a batterer's risk to children, including perpetrating incest; assessing a batterer's parenting issues in child custody and visitation evaluation; and evaluating the batterer's impact on children's therapeutic process and family functioning in child protective practice.New to the Second EditionIncreased focus on diversity; updates on race and culture Increased focus on the child's perspective Increased use of tables and figures for illustrative purposesAddition of more cases examplesFeatures and benefits include: Detailed descriptions of the family dynamics engendered by domestic violence.Provides an analysis of the well-established overlap between battering and incest perpetration.The book is grounded in very extensive clinical experience with authors who have been involved in the cases of over 2000 men who batter as counselors, supervisor of other counselors, custody evaluators, and researchers. The book includes detailed, specific recommendations for a wide range of practitioners, including domestic violence professionals, therapists, custody evaluators, family court personnel, juvenile court personnel, child protective personnel, parent educators, and visitation supervisors.

Recenzii

"This highly readable, excellent text will serve professionals and students in varied fields who come into contact with families exposed to battering. The background and experiences of the authors are a major strength informing the book. The text is chock full of essential information gleaned from extensive clinical practice. A second major strength is their focus on family climate and dynamics influenced by the batterer, rather than approaching the child-parent relationship in terms of discrete incidents that may have been witnessed by the child. This approach resonates with my clinical experience, while much current research still uses an incident-based approach. I have one leg in the clinical practice world and the other in research/teaching, and from my vantage point it is exciting to read clinical wisdom and experiences summarized thematically that can inspire highly relevant empirical research. I would certainly purchase a copy of the Second Edition for my own professional use, and I wish that it were required reading for professionals intervening with children exposed to batterers, particularly chills welfare professionals."
