Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The study examined whether instances of child abuse differ relative to the degree of closeness in parent-child relationships. Theories of social support and attachment theory were compared to Bowen theory in order to explore intervention/prevention of child abuse in families with intimate partner violence (IPV).
Methods: Data about fourth grade elementary school children who had been exposed to IPV were drawn from the Korean Youth Panel Survey and analyzed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), controlling for gender.
Results: There was a significant difference in the level of physical child abuse determined by parent-child closeness. Children in the close-to-neither-parent type reported a significantly higher level of physical abuse than those in the close-to-both-parents type. However, differences between parent-child closeness types did not predict differences in emotional abuse.
Conclusions: Couple and family therapists need to consider perspectives derived from both social support/attachment theory and Bowen theory when working with families with IPV and child abuse.
