Renae DellacroceFamily Domestic Violence Recovery Program: a profound discourse that addresses the psychology of abuse, especially domestic, and how this affects individuals causing the pain and/or subjected to such pain.Author DellaCroce relays the aspects of behavor associated with abuse that makes it destructive and toxic: Even with intoxication, trauma responses, and drug-induced delusion, the coercive part of the cycle is still evident. Essentially, a maladaptive dynamic causes stress to rise and coercive controlling behaviors follow. These behaviors are a way for the offender to reduce his/her stress. It is common for offenders to continue a pattern of coercive behavior that does not involve physical violence. This pattern can be repeated for years, but, inevitably, it escalates into physical violence. Ultimately, if the coercive behavior does not work, violence will become physical. Domestic Violence has severe effects on children which often remains untreated until the children grow up and recapitulate the pattern. It is a miss conception that the child is unaware of the domestic violence and because they were not in the same room, asleep or not present that they are not traumatized by the interactions between the offender and adult victim.
