Nursing 423 1st Edition Final Study Guide1. Briefly describe the dynamics of power in abusive relationships and how this isdemonstrated in the Stockholm syndrome.In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxicalpsychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positivefeelings towards their captors that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk enduredby the victims, essentially mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act ofkindness.[1][2] The FBI�s Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27%of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[3] The syndrome is named after theNorrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in which thebank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In thiscase, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended themafter they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term "Stockholm Syndrome" wascoined by the criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police duringthe robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast.[4] It was originally definedby psychiatrist Frank Ochberg to aid the management of hostage situations.[5]2.

They might still have strong feelings for their partner after abuse. Males might not report because they don’t consider being slapped or hit abuse or the stigma that men can protect themselves. 4.List the characteristics of the perpetrator of abuse- Keeps track of what you are doing all the time and criticizes you for little things.- Constantly accuses you of being unfaithful.- Prevents or discourages you from seeing friends or family, or going to work or school.- Gets angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs.- Controls all the money you spend.- Humiliates you in front of others.- Destroys your property or things that you care about.- Threatens to hurt you or the children or pets, or does cause hurt (by hitting, punching, slapping, kicking, or biting).- Uses or threatens to use a weapon against you.- Forces you to have sex against your will.- Blames you for his/her violent outbursts.- Abuser pacing the floor- Clenching/unclenching fists- Facial expression (glaring)- Shouting/yelling5. Discuss family patterns seen with abuse (should include information about the“conspiracy of silence”).6. Discuss cultural issues related to abuse.A culture forms not only by active endorsement of particular values, but also by passive acceptance of a certain phenomenon. US culture sends messages about the acceptance of violence and often appears to condone violent and aggressive behavior in its tacit and sometimes active portrayal of violence in the media and reluctance to curb firearm proliferation. Being raised in a low income family with scant social support can become a cultural risk factor. Living in a violent neighborhood increases the risk that a child will be involved in violence. 7.
