Doživljanje sramu pri ženskah v nasilnem partnerskem odnosu : magistrsko delo

Hohler, Veronika (author), Simonič, Barbara (mentor)

V magistrskem delu je avtorica raziskovala doživljanje sramu žensk v nasilnem intimnem partnerskem odnosu. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljena definicija nasilja več različnih strokovnjakov zaradi razpršenosti slednjega, njegove karakteristike in vrste, predstavljena je dinamika kroga nasilja med žrtvijo in povzročiteljem nasilja, travmatična veza, pomen čustev ter njihova vloga in značilnosti v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. V empiričnem delu se je avtorica za raziskovanje posluževala fenomenološke metode, ki temelji na raziskovanju osebnega doživljanja nekega fenomena. Avtorica dela je podatke pridobila s pomočjo polstrukturiranega intervjuja sedmih udeleženk o njihovem doživljanju nasilja v intimnem partnerskem odnosu, s poudarkom na doživljanju občutju sramu. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, kako se udeleženke soočajo z doživljanjem že omenjenega čutenja ali so v stiku s slednjim ter katera občutja se še poleg sramu pojavljajo v nasilnem intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Ugotovili smo da so vse udeleženke v intimen partnerski odnos prišle z vsebino disfunkcionalnega sramu kljub temu, da nekatere izmed njih niso imele izkušnje nasilja v primarni družini. Udeleženke so v intimnem partnerskem odnosu doživljale predvsem strah in krivdo, le redko so bile v stiku s sramom. Slednjega so pričele odkrito naslavljati šele po tem, ko so prekinile nasilen intimen partnerski odnos. Nekatere so znale opisati telesne senzacije tega čutenja, a ga niso znale poimenovati. Sram je do določene mere zaviral prekinitev kroga nasilja, tudi zaradi povezave z drugimi čustvi, ki so se pojavljala (strah, krivda in gnus), vendar pa je po drugi strani igral tudi ključno vlogo pri samem odhodu, ko so se žrtve uspele soočiti z nesposobnostjo, da bi stvari uredile drugače. Polnejši stik s sramom so udeleženke doživele šele po odhodu iz nasilnega partnerskega odnosa.

• Title: Experiencing shame among women in a violent relationship

Abstract

In this master’s thesis, the author researched the experience of shame in women, that were in a violent intimate partner relationships. Due to the complex nature of the concept, the theoretical part of the thesis presents the definitions of violence by several different experts, its characteristics and types; followed by the introduction of the dynamics of the circle of violence between the victim and the perpetrator of the violence, the traumatic relationship, the importance of emotions and their role and characteristics in an intimate partnership. In the empirical part, the author used phenomenological research methods, that are mainly based on exploring the personal experience of a phenomenom. The author obtained the data through a semi-structured interviews of seventh participants about their experiences of violence in intimate partner relationships, most notably the feeling of shame. The results of the research showed, how the participants coped with experiencing the aforementioned feelings and whether they were in touch with the latter, and which feelings, besides shame, appeared in a violent intimate partner relationship. We found out, that all participants in the partnership came with the content of dysfunctional shame, despite the fact, that some of them had no experience of violence in the primary family. In an intimate partner relationship, participants primarily experience fear and guilt, and rarely feel shame. They addressed the latter feeling after they broke off the violent intimate partner relationship. Some were able to describe the bodily sensations of this feeling, but could not name it, or they could not define it well. Shame, to some extent, inhibited the iterruption of the cycle of violence, also because of the connection with other emotions that arose (fear, guilt and disgust), but on the other hand, it also played a key role in leaving the victims, when they were able to cope with inability to handle things differently. Participants experienced fuller contact with shame only after leaving a violent partnership.
