EMDR THERAPY IN ALLEVIATING PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD MALTREATMENT - A CASE REPORT
Therapeutic interventions employed when working with maltreated children
A number of effective treatments are available for children and young people who have developed various forms of
psychological difficulties as a consequence of traumatic experiences. The aim of this paper is to review the therapeutic approaches employed when working with children who have been exposed to various forms of abuse and neglect during their childhood. This paper provides relevant information to psychotherapists and counsellors on new trends in therapy, as well as techniques and possibilities in interventions in this field, not only with respect to traumatised children, but also family members and other caregivers involved in the child’s life. Furthermore, this paper reviews the therapeutic interventions used to treat emotionally, sexually, and physically abused children, neglected children, children who have witnessed domestic violence, and children who have been exposed to multiple forms of abuse
ČIMBENICI RIZIKA ZA NASILJE U PARTNERSKIM VEZAMA
Svrha ovog članka je dati pregled literature o čimbenicima rizika za partnersko nasilje. Posebna je pozornost obraćena
definiranju nasilja u partnerskim vezama. Rastumačeno je sporno pitanje spolne simetrije i asimetrije nasilja u
partnerskim vezama. Opisana su četiri oblika nasilja u partnerskim vezama: nasilje koje karakterizira prisila i kontroliranje;
nasilje kao reakcija na napad; situacijsko nasilje i nasilje potaknuto razvodom ili razdvajanjem.
Navedeni su čimbenici rizika za počinjenje nasilnog ponašanja i za izloženost nasilnom ponašanju a koji uključuju
socioekonomske varijable, obiteljske karakteristike, povijest izloženosti nasilju u djetinjstvu, različite poremećaje osobnosti,
osobine ličnosti, korištenje alkohola i opijata te religioznost. Članak se zaključuje raspravom o potrebi daljnjeg
istraživanja nasilja u partnerskim vezama koja će proširiti i poboljšati naše razumijevanje partnerskog nasilja

EMOTIONS AND CULTURE: INTERCULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN EXPRESSING EMOTIONS
U radu se opisuje kulturalni utjecaj na intenzitet, bihevioralnu ekspresiju i upravljanje emocijama. Navode se kulturalne razlike u doživljavanju, percipiranju i izražavanju emocija. U pregledu je naveden veći broj istraživanja koja uglavnom ukazuju na veću poželjnost i primjerenost ugodnih emocija u zapadnim kulturama, a na izraženu supresiju ugodnih te neugodnih emocija u istočnim kulturama. Također, navedene su neke smjernice za buduća istraživanja s obzirom na to da je riječ o istraživanjima od praktičnog značenja za kvalitetu života pojedinca.The paper describes the cultural influence onto the intensity, behavioral expression and management of emotions. The authors enumerate cultural differences in experiencing, recognizing and expressing emotions. They give an overview of a larger number of research papers that mostly state that pleasant emotions are more desirable and appropriate in Western cultures, whereas in Eastern cultures there is an emphasised suppression of pleasant and unpleasant emotions. Furthermore, the authors give some guidelines for future research since this kind of research has practical importance for the quality of life of a person
Sexting and emotional regulation strategies among young adults
Sexting as a common adolescent behavior might me related with difficulties of emotion regulation, a skillset that draws on identifying the relationship between behaviors and emotions and then creating strategies for regulating such emotions. The aim of this study was to explore the relation between sexting and emotional regulation strategies. The study involved 440 respondents, aged 18 to 25. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire was used to measure emotional regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression). Sexting Behaviors Scale was used to assess the frequency of receiving, sending and posting sexually suggestive or provocative texts, photos or videos. Result showed that boys use the strategy of expressive suppression more intense than girls. Statistically significant low correlation was found between posting sexually suggestive content and cognitive reappraisal. Furthermore, gender has been found to be a significant predictor of engagement in the activity of sexting behavior. The results suggest that exchange of sexually suggestive content among youth, which shows low incidence, cannot be defined as an indicator of difficulties in emotional regulation
