Violencia filio parental: Teorías, características y factores psicosociales que intervienen.

Abstract

This research is based on the study of Child-to-Parent Violence (CPV), understood as the aggression perpetuated by the child against the parent. According to the World Health Organization (2014, p 45), almost two million people die due to violence, and many more are left with serious consequences, representing a significant economic burden to different countries. This analysis was carried out through a literature review to analyze theories, characteristics, and social-psychological factors associated with CPV. The PRISMA method was used to verify the information’s quality, reliability, and validity. Following the stated objectives, it is concluded that social and psychological factors such as the lack of emotional management and the dysfunctional family environment, among others, help the manifestation of physical, psychological, or economic aggression of children towards their parents. Regarding the second objective, it has been established that there is a relationship between the Learning Theories and the Theory of Planned Behavior by Icek Ajzencon with the CPV. Finally, the third objective summarizes the characteristics of CPV, such as family victimization, the presence of anxiety, depression and somatization, and the use of toxic substances, among others.
