La violencia filio-parental en el núcleo familiar. Planteamiento de un programa de prevención primaria.

Abstract

This literature review examines current perspectives and approaches about primary prevention in the field of parent-child violence. This study aimed to characterize parent-child violence within the family nucleus. The specific objectives were to explain parent-child violence and its types, briefly describe family structure, analyze models describing parent-child violence, and propose a primary psychotherapeutic prevention program to avert this type of violence. The methodology was based on a thematic analysis of empirical studies, scientific articles, and meta-analyses published in the last ten years, consulted in databases of indexed journals such as SciELO, Redalyc, SCIENCE, Scopus, CUIDENplus, and Clase. Findings reveal that parent-child violence is a complex phenomenon influenced by individual, social, familial, economic, and cultural factors. On the other hand, intervention programs rarely focused on primary prevention, and secondary and tertiary prevention generally had little or no effect, as they did not establish change and had a high probability of recurrence. Therefore, the authors emphasize the importance of multilevel and multidisciplinary intervention in developing parental skills, emotional management, and family communication. In conclusion, this review offers various perspectives that comprehensively and updatedly characterize this type of violence and indicate the need to integrate holistic preventive strategies based on evidence.
