The research Protocol of the project “Child-to-parent violence in adolescence: detection, psychosocial profiles and strategies of action” (Plan Estatal 2021- 2023) is presented. The first general objective of the project is to study the psychosocial characteristics that contribute to the emergence of child-to-parent violence in adolescence. A cross-sectional empirical study with a mixed and multi-informant methodology is proposed. Different educational centers at a national level will collaborate on the randomized selection of the families. The second objective aims to contribute to the optimization of the professional practice in the work with families in child-to-parent violence situations.
This study plans to identify and characterize family interventions targeting childto-parent violence in Spain. An expert panel will be constituted for the work on the improvement of professional practices with these families. This project expects its conclusions to enable a better comprehension of child-to-parent violence, and to improve theexisting family support policies.
