Kardeş İstismarı: Birey Üzerindeki Etkileri, Ebeveynlerin Verdikleri Tepkiler, Yaygınlığı ve Önlenmesi

Öz

Kardeş
istismarı bireylerin yaşamını olumsuz etkileyen ve aile içi şiddetin en yaygın
türü olarak belirtilen toplumsal bir sorun olmasına rağmen, gerek literatürde
gerekse yapılan çalışmalarda büyük ölçüde göz ardı edilmektedir. Kardeş
istismarı toplum tarafından aile içi bir problem olarak görülmekte, çoğu zaman
aileler tarafından görmezlikten gelinmekte ya da verilen yanlış tepkilerle istismar
ve etkileri farkında olmadan pekiştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bireylerin
yaşamlarında kısa ve uzun vadede birçok olumsuz etkisi olan kardeş istismarının
birey üzerindeki etkilerini ve istismara verilen ebeveyn tepkilerini
tanımlamak, yaygınlığı ve önlenmesi konularına değinerek konu ile ilgili
farkındalığı artırmaktır.
