Definition of Psychological Violence

The concept of violence psychological is a social concept that is used to refer to the phenomenon by which one or more people verbally attack another or other people, establishing some type of psychological damage Y emotional in the attacked people and without physical contact of any kind, that is, the aggression it is only verbally without intervention of physical blows.

Violence that involves the use of disqualifying expressions and in which the physical attack does not intervene

Normally it consists of disqualifying expressions that are precisely intended to demean and belittle the one to whom they are directed.

This basic characteristic of this type of violence makes it sometimes unverifiable, because of course, a blow, a wound is easy. to prove but many times if you do not have witnesses or any recording to prove it, it is difficult to prove this type of violence.
Generally, the complaint comes to nothing because they consider that it is the word of one against another.

The notion of psychological violence has been formed to make a difference with that of violence physical as it involves verbal aggression and treatment rather than violence through blows or injuries physical.
Psychological violence is very common in certain social spheres, such as the domestic (where various types of conflicts and fights tend to take place), the workplace, the school, etc.

The serious consequences it produces

Specialists consider that psychological violence is one of the worst forms of violence since it involves an attack on the psyche and emotionality of a person.
In this sense, although a blow or physical aggression leaves visible marks and significant pain, a verbal or psychological aggression can hurt much deeper in the understanding and in the self-esteem of that person since it is usually attacked by hitting in those parts about which the person feels insecure and that make it feeling much weaker and more vulnerable in front of the aggressor (for example, a husband to his wife does so by exercising a certain level of power and of hierarchy that weakens the female figure as a composing part of the couple).

Psychological violence is also invisible and much more difficult to detect in practice since the wounds are not visible, and It is common for the person to hide it, not reveal it, that is, they keep it for themselves and this whole situation ends up corroding it inwardly.

Thus, the psychological aggression that a husband inflicts on his wife, that a boss inflicts on his employee or that a person with greater power can exercise another with less Power always goes unnoticed in the moment, but the effects they generate on the person can be much more lasting and painful than physical violence.

The consequences or marks left by psychological violence at some point in life must be treated, because human beings are not machines, at a certain moment, they emerge, suddenly they usually do, and without the affected person being able to handle them, and then, it will demand urgent treatment many times, because of course what was ignored and covered for so long exerted a level of internal stress such that you will need urgent therapy, and in the most severe cases even medication or hospitalization to prevent the person from hurting himself or herself third parties.

Unfortunately, the social decomposition that prevails in many parts of the world has made the levels of verbal violence have grown exponentially, for example at school it has become a common and worrying situation, due to the consequences that it generates in the kids that are the object of it.
The famous bullying or bullying runs deep in children who suffer from it and often ends leading to fantastic and very painful dramas when the person who suffers it goes into extreme crisis thanks to them.
