The effect of domestic violence on the development of psychiatric disorders

Nasilje je društveni problem koji podrazumijeva tjelesnu reakciju počinitelja s namjerom nanošenja ozljede drugoj osobi, a ozljeda može biti psihološka i fizička. Postoji više različitih oblika nasilja. U ovom radu će se koristiti sistematizacija međuljudskog nasilja, odnosno obiteljsko nasilje koje se dijeli na partnersko, nasilje nad djecom i nasilje nad starijim osobama. Cilj ovog rada je objasniti utjecaj nasilja na razvoj psihičkih poremećaja kod žrtve nasilja. Psihički poremećaji se često razvijaju pod utjecajem traume ili stresnog događaja, a kao jedan takav je i iskustvo nasilja. Ponekad usprkos doživljenom nasilju osoba neće razviti psihičke poremećaje zbog svojstva koje posjeduje žrtva, a ono je osobna otpornost. U radu će se također pojasniti uloga socijalnog rada u prevenciji nasilja i radu s osobama oboljelim od psihičkih poremećaja.Violence is a social problem that involves the physical reaction of the perpetrator with the intent to harm another person, in which the harm can be psychological and physical. There are several different forms of violence. This paper will use the systematization of interpersonal violence, ie domestic violence which is divided into partner violence, violence against children and violence against the elderly. The aim of this paper is to explain the impact of violence on the development of mental disorders in victims of violence. Mental disorders often develop under the influence of trauma or a stressful event, one such example is the experience of violence. Sometimes, despite the experienced violence, a person will not develop mental disorders due to the special trait that the victim possesses, which is personal resilience. The paper will also explain the role of social work in the prevention of violence and in work with people with mental disorders
