GRUPOS REFLEXIVOS PARA HOMENS AUTORES DE VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER

Abstract

Reflective groups for men who commit violence against women are intervention programs that aim to address the violent and aggressive behavior of men in abusive relationships. They are designed to create a safe space where perpetrators can reflect on their actions, attitudes and beliefs, with the aim of promoting behavior change and preventing future aggression. These groups often consisted of group therapy sessions led by professionals trained in domestic violence and therapy. During sessions, participants are encouraged to examine their motivations for violent behavior, understand the impact of their actions on victims, and develop alternative strategies for handling conflict nonviolently. Additionally, reflective groups often address issues of gender, power, and control, helping perpetrators recognize patterns of abusive behavior. These programs have the potential to play an important role in preventing domestic violence, provided they are implemented ethically and effectively. It is important to note that the effectiveness of these groups may vary, and they must be combined with other resources, such as victim support and safety measures, to fully address the problem of domestic violence. Furthermore, participation in such groups must be voluntary, and perpetrators must take responsibility for their own behavior. The research in question aims to discuss everything that involves the scope of these reflective groups, as well as disseminate relevant information about their importance in our society.
