Abstract

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), violence perpetrated by a partner or ex-partner in an intimate relationship, is the most common form of violence against women. The role of affects in PTSD in particular shame, guilt and fear has proven to be even more relevant among women who experience IPV. The aim of the study was to explore the meaning of affects according to women who experienced IPV, particularly in the relationship with their partner and during the process of separation and help-seeking. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith & Osborn, 2003), a semi-structured interview was developed to investigate the experience that women victims of violence have of the affects of shame, guilt and fear in relationship to their history of violence and the process of help seeking. Eight women were selected, based on the following inclusion criteria: having suffered violence in a marital relationship and having terminated the relationship with the partner. Five main themes emerged, that highlighted the role of the affects investigated and the difference between guilt, shame, fear and terror. The deepening of the role of these affects could facilitate interventions with women who have experienced IPV, making the responses of the services more sensitive and structured.

创伤后情感与亲密伴侣暴力:解释性现象学分析

亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是伴侣或前伴侣在亲密关系中实施的暴力，是对妇女最常见的暴力形式。情感在PTSD中的作用，尤其是羞耻、内疚和恐惧，在经历过IPV的女性中更为重要。这项研究的目的是根据经历过IPV的女性，特别是在与伴侣的关系中，在分离和寻求帮助的过程中，探索情感的意义。通过解释性现象学分析(IPA) (Smith & Osborn, 2003)，研究人员开发了一种半结构化访谈，以调查暴力女性受害者的经历，即羞耻、内疚和恐惧的影响与她们的暴力史和寻求帮助的过程之间的关系。根据以下入选标准选出了8名妇女:在婚姻关系中遭受暴力和终止与伴侣的关系。五个主要主题出现了，突出了所调查的影响的作用以及内疚，羞耻，恐惧和恐怖之间的区别。加深这些影响的作用可以促进对经历过IPV的妇女进行干预，使服务的反应更加敏感和有条理。
