[Coercive control: From Diké to Hygée, a judicial and health revolution].

Abstract

By reversing the questions and focusing on the perpetrator's behavior, the notion of coercive control revolutionizes the apprehension and understanding of violence within the family for all its members. This heuristic approach, which represents a genuine paradigm shift, has legal, semiological and diagnostic effects. It creates a new professional ecosystem that enables us to respond differently to two fundamental missions: caring and justice.
