Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy.
This qualitative phenomenological study used the Bowen Family Systems Theory to explore Youth-to-Parent Violence (YTPV). The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of YTPV by examining the parents’ lived experiences and their family history. The data was collected from a demographic questionnaire, a Focused Genogram, and two semi-structured interviews with seven parent/stepparents who were verbally, physically, psychologically, and financially abused by their adolescent child/stepchild. The data analysis revealed the following themes: types of YTPV experienced, trauma and loss, family structure, response to stress, and history of violence. The findings provide insight on how parent/stepparents are impacted and the importance of exploring the family of origin.
