Publication Restreint Family dynamics associated with the use of psychologically violent parental practices(Kluwer, 2004-04-19) Gagné, Marie-Hélène; Bouchard, CamilThe purpose of this study is to explore the family dynamics that are associated with parental psychological violence. A qualitative theorizing analysis has been performed upon the content of 26 interviews with parents and practitioners, in order to: (1) develop a typology of family dynamics conducive to psychologically violent parental practices, and (2) provide some support to this typology by confronting it with other data and real life cases. The results suggest four types of families in which psychological violence is likely to occur, characterized respectively by a scapegoat child, a domineering and intolerant father, a rigid and manipulative mother, and a chaotic and incompetent parent. Participants' explanations of the occurrence of psychological violence in a given family support the proposed typology: a different explanatory profile is associated with each type of psychologically violent family. Furthermore, the typology has been submitted to practitioners working in the fields of child protection and community family support, who applied the typology to real files in their caseloads in order to assess its usefulness in clinical settings. This procedure supported the relevance of the proposed typology for practice.Publication Restreint L’aliénation parentale : un bilan des connaissances et des controverses(Canadian Psychological Association, 2005-05-02) Drapeau, Sylvie; Gagné, Marie-Hélène; Hénault, RosalieLe phénomène d'aliénation parentale, parfois qualifié de «syndrome», désigne généralement les situations où un enfant en vient à rejeter l'un de ses parents, autrefois aimé, sous l'influence de son autre parent. De tels cas s'observeraient typiquement en contexte de séparation conjugale, surtout lorsque les ex-conjoints entretiennent des conflits importants. Ce phénomène a suscité de multiples controverses entre les experts des domaines judiciaire, social et de la santé mentale. Étant donné la confusion conceptuelle qui entoure l'aliénation parentale et l'absence d'outils fiables et valides pour en évaluer la présence, très peu d'études empiriques ont été menées dans ce domaine et les connaissances actuelles demeurent parcellaires. Par exemple, il est difficile d'estimer l'ampleur du phénomène et d'avoir une idée juste sur son étiologie. Cet article propose un survol des principales controverses qui entourent le phénomène d'aliénation parentale et dresse un bilan de ce qu'on en connaît. Il conclut qu'une lecture plus écologique du problème devrait guider le développement de la recherche et des pratiques dans ce domaine.Publication Restreint Links between parental psychological violence, other family disturbances, and children's adjustment.(Family Process, 2007-11-11) Melançon, Claudiane; Drapeau, Sylvie; Gagné, Marie-Hélène; Lépine, Rachel; Saint-Jacques, Marie-ChristineIn a sample of 143 parent-child dyads from two-parent and separated families, this investigation documented the links between parental psychological violence and separation or divorce, severity of parental conflict, triangulation of the child in this conflict, and polarized parent-child alliances. The unique and combined contributions of all these variables to children's behavior problems were also assessed. Participants were parents, mostly mothers, and their 10–12-year-old child. They were recruited through schools, community organizations, and newspapers. Questionnaires were administered at home. Findings suggest that separated families undergo more relational disturbances than two-parent families (more severe conflicts, more triangulation, stronger parent-child alliances), but the amount of parental psychological violence was similar in both groups. Psychological violence was associated with the severity of parental conflict, especially in two-parent families. Triangulation of the child in parental conflict was another correlate of psychological violence. Once all variables were controlled for, psychological violence remained the only significant correlate of children's externalized behavior problems. These findings raise the importance of preventing psychological violence toward children, especially in families plagued with severe parental conflicts.
