The social learning theory as explicative model of child-parent violence

Abstract

In opposition to what it was kept before the decade of the 70s of the 20th century, the familiar context is one of the most violent, being able to give the parent-child violence, in the pair, between brothers and the child-parent violence. In this article we centre on the violence of teenagers against their progenitors being the first aim of our review to delimit and to define so much the term of familiar violence as much as of the adolescent violence towards parents to achieve to understand some of the reasons that gain to explain this phenomenon from the theory of the social learning. This theory is presented as an explanatory model suggested by almost totality of the authors who study and investigate the child-parents violence. To do so we have used a bibliographic review in qualitative analytic version, in base at investigations and books from the decade of the 70s until the year 2011 that have studied the child-parents violence in some cases linked with others types of family violence.
