PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN IN A PSYCHOANALYSIS PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Every family has different conditions, where there are family members who unconsciously do what is not desirable from themselves to other family members. In this case, there is a family where both parents experience divorce, resulting in physical violence against children which is unpleasant behavior and contrary to children's rights in the family. this has an impact on the child's attitude in behaving in everyday life. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the physical violence experienced by the child and her development. In the initial observation, the child showed changes in behavior of emotional instability, anxiety and feelings of fear. The child was also more silent and did not want to convey everything he felt. In conducting the analysis, the method used is descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of observation conducted by observing the child's behavior. The result of this case analysis is the influence of physical violence in the family that has an impact on behavior. Through Sigmund Freud's approach, several forms of ego defense mechanisms are seen in children, namely repression, denial, compartmentalization and sublimation. the problem-solving technique used is the free association technique.
