20.500.12556/RUL-148151 Physical violence and scapegoating within the family an exploration of biblical texts and contemporary psychology To understand physical violence in the family, it is important to define the role of the victim. The term “scapegoat” is a universal anthropological concept, often used in sociological theories, where a certain group of people and/or minorities are often victimized or blamed (e.g., social ills). We may note that the phenomenon of scapegoating is most clearly expressed in the Bible. Therefore, we will use relevant biblical texts that refer to parental use of corporal punishment in which a child is scapegoated and/or victimized by parental violence. In this sense, the Bible is the most profound explanation and manifestation of the cultural, social, and especially religious development of humanity. At the same time, the concept of scapegoating is also demonstrated in psychology and therapy, where it also serves as a basis for understanding, for example, physical violence in the family, and where it is also crucial to define the role of the victim. In this article, therefore, we will explain the biblical background of this concept and highlight two basic dynamics of violence against children in the family: when the child is the “scapegoat” for unresolved tensions in the family and when the child becomes the “sacrifice” or victim of the dysregulated emotional response of his or her parents. physical punishment scapegoat sacrifice redemption family true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2023-07-28 11:52:44 2023-07-28 11:52:46 2023-07-29 03:39:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 2638–2655 iss. 4 Vol. 62 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 27-23:159.9:316.362.1 0022-4197 10.1007/s10943-023-01818-3 151911171 s10943-023-01818-3.pdf s10943-023-01818-3.pdf 1 DB5D5E344FD097ADE42A85943EA72164 b9eeae89357668cc03d54d572706244a64f49b92aa652c427a3daa42e6be1b58 16f9ee4c-2d2d-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172153 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10943-023-01818-3 1 9705b487-2d2c-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172152 Teološka fakulteta 0 0 0
