Forms of Psychological Violence as a Factor of Asocial Behavior

Abstract

An analysis of foreign literature shows that over the past three decades, the West has accumulated significant empirical material on the problem of cruel treatment towards a person. Physical violence in society and in the family is a topic of discussion and loud, and cases of emotional violence do not lead to such mass resonance. At the same time, psychological violence is no less than physical violence, and sometimes more dangerous. Psychological violence is rarely discussed, but at the same time, psychologists point out that it is more dangerous for the victim's psyche than physical violence. If physical violence weakens the body, psychological violence weakens the victim’s spirit and personality.
