Abstract

The objective of this study is to define and recognize the causes and effective factors of sibling abuse. Additionally, it aims to raise awareness of the subject by highlighting the relationship between domestic violence and sibling abuse.
While the family environment is often considered a safe haven, it can unfortunately also be a place where violence and abuse occur, causing anxiety for its members. Despite many studies on domestic abuse, research on sibling abuse has been lacking. This study aims to fill that gap by discussing the definition of violence between siblings, the factors that contribute to it, the impact of family dynamics on sibling abuse, its prevalence, history, and consequences.

KARDEŞLER ARASI ŞİDDET: BİR DERLEME ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı kardeşler arası şiddet konusunu tanımlayarak ve kardeşler arası şiddetin sebeplerini, sonuçlarını, aile içi şiddet ile kardeşler arası şiddet arasındaki ilişkiye dikkat çekerek konu ile ilgili farkındalığı artırmaktır. Aile ortamı; kendimizi en güvende hissettiğimiz yerdir. Toplumda ailenin; aidiyet hissedilen yer olduğu ve aile üyelerini dış tehlikelerden koruyucu bir görevi olduğuyla ilgili yaygın bir görüş hâkimdir. Fakat bazı durumlarda aile ortamı, şiddetin ve istismarın meydana geldiği ve üyeleri için kaygı oluşturan bir ortam da olabilir. Literatür incelendiğinde aile içi şiddet ile ilgili yapılan çok sayıda çalışmaya rastlanmaktadır. Fakat kardeşler arası şiddet ile ilgili çalışmalar oldukça yetersizdir. Bu çalışmada kardeşler arası şiddetin tanımı, neden olan faktörler, kardeşler arası şiddete ailenin etkisi, tarihçesi, yaygınlığı, kardeşler arası şiddetin sonuçları konuları ele alınmıştır.
