No TL;DR found
Abstract
The article analyses domestic violence victimization and factors determining domestic violence such as unconscious patterns. It argues that the victim’s pattern of behavior cannot be corrected without working with the victim’s unconsciousness. Measures of the victim’s scenario prevention are not fully effective without such a very significant factor of the victim’s behavior as unconscious attitudes and patterns. Psychologists and therapists can assist victims in changing their behaviors and patterns. Using domestic violence prevention techniques and resources, the victim can stay safe in their relationship . It is necessary to create incentives for resolving intra-family problems, as well as to professionally respond to “the victim’s pattern”, to develop family rehabilitation programs for both the aggressor and the victim. It will contribute to better prevention of domestic violence.
