According to McMaster Model, family assessment is a complex endeavour considering the way it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>solves problems, as a family;<\/li>\n<li>communicates;<\/li>\n<li>is emotionally involved in solving family problems;<\/li>\n<li>behaves and controls behaviour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the Finish trend of thought, families are assessed on a scale of five characteristics:<\/p>\n<p>Healthy family without conflicts, dominated by empathy among its members;<\/p>\n<p>Slightly perturbed family with transitory conflicts, which may generate anxiety states and mild depressions among its components, the members preserving a clear appreciation of reality.<\/p>\n<p>Neurotic family, which has frequent unsolved conflicts of mild or mediocre intensity. The inter-personal patterns inside such families are clear. Since the conflicts are repetitive to a certain degree, the family perception of the reality between the crises is still satisfactory.<\/p>\n<p>Rigid family \u2013 syntonic with dysfunctions produced by unsolved and ignored conflicts, with a blurred delimitation of reality in perspective, achieving a rigid homeostasis.<\/p>\n<p>Severely perturbed families that have open conflicts. Here, the level of anxiety is high and the trust among the members is low. In this type of family, the consequences on the children are disastrous. Intra-family relationships may be re-established, in general in a certain degree, but also with specialised intervention.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rutter, chronic stress accompanied by chronic disorders develops when:<\/p>\n<p>The child\u2019s temperament changes, the youth proving to be unable to accommodate him\/herself to the circumstances;<\/p>\n<p>Generally, good relationships with a parent are preserved (with relatives, friends), therefore the coping mechanism is satisfactory;<\/p>\n<p>Successes at the workplace, as well as school effectiveness start to decrease in time, in general for all family members.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences of dysfunction in intra-familial, social, cultural relationships are clearly significant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the last century, a host of scientists (psychologists, doctors, sociologists, etc.) such as Spitz, Bender, Bowlbi, Micheaux, Levi, and others, have become aware of the negative influence of conflict, neglect, failure to communicate, and especially of privation of affection. They have described the consequences of these negative aspects on the development of the other behaviours in children, starting from a very early age: motor behaviour, cognitive-verbal protocols of communication functions, receptive-expressive language and affective-adaptive behaviour. More recently, a group of psychologists from Boston, Robertson, Mayer, and Solovey, focused on more advanced stages in the development of personality, emphasizing especially the importance of clinically identified affective disorders in children by the syndrome of sadness, depression, detachment, etc. Deductively, these dysfunctions imply the following aspects:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A. <strong>Neglect<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>child\u2019s neglect concerning the physical side, thus he\/she is deprived of food, medication, biological needs, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>educational neglect, obliging the child to other activities leading to later school failure, rambling;<\/li>\n<li>eemotional neglect entails ignoring the events in the child\u2019s life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>B. <strong>Child abuse<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>physical, with excessive corporal punishment<\/li>\n<li>emotionally by:<br \/>\n&#8211; verbal violence, insults, humiliation, denigration, rejection and denial.<br \/>\n&#8211; isolation for several hours<br \/>\n&#8211; threat<\/li>\n<li>sexual assault (not rape); it is an act of satisfying sexual needs with incitement to prostitution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>INTERVENTION IN EMERGENCY<\/strong> requests:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>setting up a team (the social worker, psychologist, police officer to determine the aggressor, and a representative of the City Hall as mediator, as well as a neighbour)<\/li>\n<li>an intervention form (see a model in the Annex). It ends with the report of the interview with the child, which requires:- a neutral and quiet place to talk;<br \/>\n&#8211; a parent, relatives, teachers or the class counsellor teacher to be present;<br \/>\n&#8211; the consequences of abuse in children are assessed;<br \/>\n&#8211; the types of questions being asked are directed at the different circumstances, pleasant or otherwise, which the child went through, at his\/her behaviour, and the parents\u2019 behaviour and at the parents\u2019 response to their abuse on children.<\/p>\n<p>Some children are living with the grief of separation from parents and their being moved to another environment with intrusive procedures of the new family substitutes, with inappropriate expressions, and mistreatment, which generate even stronger stress.<\/p>\n<p>In these circumstances, the child has some <strong>specific needs<\/strong> as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; specific<strong> needs to overcome the crisis<\/strong> through which the child suffers in his\/her effort to adapt to the new lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>The child\u2019s painful and confusing feelings, the conflicts he\/she feels caught in, the mixture of love and hate, fear, pain and uncertainty require attention and involvement of the intervening psycho-pedagogues, social workers, counsellors, and substitutive families).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; special <strong>needs relating to arrangements<\/strong> to be made in future concerning the child on which he\/she has insufficient control and little information. Regardless of past behaviour of the family of origin and of the quality of relationships with family members, each child remains with the fantasy of returning to his\/her own family and grow in \u201chis\/her house\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It is important that professionals in social care system should understand the following<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>abused and neglected children are not offered protection and safety, as is, their ability to trust and form close relationships is diminished;<\/li>\n<li>they were ignored or treated as pawns in inter-relational conflicts of adults in violent families;<\/li>\n<li>to provide emotional support to children who experience such situations, it is necessary to develop empathy, to understand their needs, to help them express their suffering and to improve communication skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Notwithstanding the conditions reported above, the conflicts will generate the child\u2019s, suffering which has a negative effect with repercussions on later brain dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stress <\/strong>is a psychological reaction that intervenes at environmental changes, and it is a mixture of emotional experien ces induced to a child when three conditions are fulfilled:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The child\u2019s binds with the family are interrupted;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1869 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a45.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a45.jpg 455w, https:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a45-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unexpected events occur that require sudden accommodation capacity of the unprepared individual;<\/li>\n<li>The achievement of certain performance in a bleak, hostile, suspicious environment, which generates mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, is almost impossible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are several types of suffering:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Simple stress<\/strong>, which produces reversible neural-biological changes; in general, it is usually caused by a frustration that leads to neurosis, asthenia, fatigue;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bereavement<\/strong>, is stress caused by a significant loss in the child\u2019s life, especially of a loved person but also a deprivation of material objects, which the child has a special attachment to.

It is an experience of extreme intensity caused by events which challenge the survival of the individual. The catastrophe has an absurd, inexplicable size. In such cases the child needs explanations, needs to find the causes, the culprits, otherwise he\/she will self-blame him\/herself, will feel the need for revenge and develops a spirit of justice. Trauma generates <strong>post-traumatic stress<\/strong> situations that can occur within 2 weeks to 6 months after the traumatic event happened.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Marcelli in his treatise on \u201cChild Psychopathology\u201d makes the following comments in relation to post-traumatic stress syndrome in children:<\/p>\n<p>The repetition syndrome, in which more than the reminiscence of the trauma itself, one may notice:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Repetitive games, in which one side of the trauma is staged (small car games, simulating an accident, abused dolls games, drawings with the same recurrent theme).<\/li>\n<li>Nightmares, where the younger the child is, the more imprecise the content of the dream.<\/li>\n<li>Reactions, sometimes inadequate by their intensity, at some fairy tale or imaginary story at school or even at home.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>ANALYSIS ON THE \u201cVIOLENCE IN THE FAMILY\u201d EMERGENCY CENTRE OF THE \u201cSaint Sava\u201d FOUNDATION, BUZAU<\/h2>\n<p>An important step at the Emergency Centre of the Foundation \u201cSaint Sava\u201d Buzau, is the complex medical examination of each family member hospitalized there by a physician specialized in INP and by the team of social workers.

The same author estimates that, in the USA, 3 million women are victims of physical violence and a third of this lot has been affiliated religiously, thus becoming more vulnerable to abuse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1877\" src=\"http:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a53.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a53.jpg 307w, https:\/\/snpcar.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/a53-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Romania, there are very many cases of women victims of physical abuse. The main cause is the exaggerated jealousy and the victim develops the feeling of trauma, of guilt, trying to supress the anger of the aggressor. Some aggressors, after an abuse crisis, become calmer, following the phase of the \u201choneymoon\u201d cycle. Some victims fall ill during the \u201cstress crisis\u201d with indigestion, migraine, altralgy (pains in the joints) or rachialgia (pain in the vertebral column), dizziness, allergic rashes, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called \u201ccycle of violence\u201d is described where abuse generates a person\u2019s attempts to be in control of the other person through an intimidating behaviour. Couple abuse or domestic violence operates in successive cycles having three distinct phases:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Accumulation of tension;<\/li>\n<li>Outburst followed by anger, which generates physical violence due to a lack of emotional control, the expression of the face acquiring sometimes terrific alterations;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHoneymoon\u201d or a state of bliss with oaths requests for forgiving and after that the abuse becomes more and more violent, the victims start to believe that they are really guilty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The aggressor\u2019s profile is the same, irrespective of the level of professional training. They are egotistic, narrow-minded, seeking permanent personal comfort, continuous attention and require unconditioned devotion. They are also possessive, anxious, irritable, with a fear of being abandoned, cannot stay alone, need permanent approval, manipulate and take advantage of others, are suspicious, dependent, unstable, emotionally immature and like to be perceived by others as powerful, independent individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Although they adopt an attitude of superiority, their inner life is marked by fear, general anxiety and low self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the family they lead a double life, being pleasant, jovial, polite, mannered and are considered reliable, respected and appreciated in society; some of them want to dominate (\u201clike father\u201d, the so-called masculine model). In such families, the children bear premature emotional burdens.<\/p>\n<p>In family metamorphosis, role changes have been found, which the specialists named \u201cpaternalization of children\u201d because they are forced by circumstances to assume the adult\u2019s responsibility, neglecting their own needs, becoming tough and rigid. Women victims, with a history of elitism in their families and abuses at reluctance, are taught not to contradict, thus becoming victims of such conflicts. They display a difficulty in exploring the emotional universe, thus feeding abuse. Based on religious principles, these women\u2019s mentality, is shaped to soften the \u201crough corners\u201d through kindness and patience, and in this way abuse increases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>B<\/strong>. It is necessary to present some documentation data that have helped us develop some therapy models.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1.<strong> Psychotherapy of the children<\/strong> hospitalized together with their mothers in the \u201cViolence in the Family\u201d Emergency Centre after having been diagnosed with reactive psychic disorders (as described above) aims at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>changing the type of relationship in the family, imposing a certain disciplined behaviour that should be observed by the child and supervised by the mother;<\/li>\n<li>helping the children to take responsibility of their own actions;<\/li>\n<li>offering support in the control of the child\u2019s emotional problems and, with mother\u2019s help, finding methods to cope with the stress generated by such problems. The therapist must find the significance of the frequent symptoms that have been discovered: lying, truancy, vagrancy, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>improving the child\u2019s \u201cself-esteem\u201d, which is conditioned by many factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Violent children are provided with help in order to<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>learn how to control anger;<\/li>\n<li>express anger, frustration;<\/li>\n<li>become accountable for their actions;<\/li>\n<li>accept the consequences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The therapeutic plan involves the following phases<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial phase \u2013 making child realise the existing relationships and motivating him\/her for change;<\/li>\n<li>Middle phase when the child realizes his\/her relational capabilities;<\/li>\n<li>Terminal phase in which the child becomes autonomous with a range of affective relationships: with family members, with school, with the Foundation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Types of psychotherapy<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Individual therapy, focused on the child\u2019s social behaviour. Reinforcing this behaviour is a gratification from parents, teachers and the child even signs a contract;<\/li>\n<li>Punitive techniques, involve the withdrawal of rewards, \u201ctime- out\u201d. The child gives back the symbols and the points earned, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>Super-correction, involves the return of rewards, repetition of the appropriate behaviour, positive reinforcement of good behaviour;<\/li>\n<li>Training the child\u2019s skills through interactions aiming to develop his\/her social skills by providing models, that is, offering awards or providing pleasant social activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is applied to solitary children that fear the others or are afraid of the unknown. In this therapy, the patients are stimulated by common toys, with rules that are require them to develop particular themes, and especially by games with puppets.<\/p>\n<p>Counselling of the children\u2019s parents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is applied to hyperkinetic children with attention deficit;<\/li>\n<li>It aims to explain to the child and family that treatment requires a long time;<\/li>\n<li>It analyses the causes of disturbed behaviour syndrome;<\/li>\n<li>The Commission should find the self-esteem model for the child;<\/li>\n<li>Mother is warned on the inappropriate attitudes to her child.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Basic rules in psychotherapy of the child with affective disorders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It should be remembered that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The child must be removed from the traumatic environment;<\/li>\n<li>Permanent emotional contact with the child must be achieved;<\/li>\n<li>The therapist must enlighten the family on the conditioning of the disorder evolution and on the help he\/she needs in recovery;<\/li>\n<li>The techniques of attracting the child affectively to various programs should help to stimulate him\/her, first by creating a relaxing atmosphere. E.g.: Using the exciting Dexter type test as fun game, it calms the child, helping him\/her to focus, to learn new words. It stimulates pleasant activities, attention, perception, memory, thinking, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The analysis of the child\u2019s drawings<\/strong> should observe the rules the govern the assimilation by the child of the concepts of age.<\/p>\n<p>T<strong>he analysis of clay modelling<\/strong> &#8211; here we may see the child\u2019s emotional reactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music <\/strong>plays also an important role in relaxing the child. It attracts the child, it helps. The therapist can also find ways to stimulate musical resonance \u201cby the aquarium with distilled water\u201d which stimulates the perception of sounds, determining the child to learn simple songs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mirror-games<\/strong> train the child, are attractive, correct posture, stimulate the perception of a joyful image, are comforting.<\/p>\n<p>Toys, puppet shows, mobile pictures actions of a story, a poem or a song are attractive and relaxing for the child, increasing his\/her ability of cognitive assimilation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Spanish surgeon <strong>A. Escudero<\/strong> applied noesitherapy to young children. By association with relaxing games, he stimulates the patients with music, determines them to assimilate the reactions of emotional balancing, reinforcing these reactions by verbal excitation, mimicry, gestures, using moulds and masks that generate satisfaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong> (Pharmacotherapy)<\/p>\n<p>In light of the pathogenesis data of affection-adaptive disorders described above, in addition to behavioural recovery techniques in relation to morbid entities, the interventions aim at correcting neurological somatic, and vegetative, symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>First, the medication we chose for this group of children generally implies the specific psycho-active therapy plus the form of clinical pathogenesis, the evolution of the disorder, etc.<\/p>\n<p>According to S.Milea, certain rules for the implementation of schemes must be followed in the therapeutic approach:<\/p>\n<p>A clear diagnosis regarding causes, clinical forms, development of the case<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Existence of concomitant co-morbidity;<\/li>\n<li>The pharmaco-kinetic peculiarities of the drug should be known: half-life period, better tolerance per kg \/ body in children;<\/li>\n<li>Specificity of action of pharmaceutical chemicals (anxiolytics, sedatives, narcotics, AE, in relation to new classifications of Kaplan, Sadock, 2001);<\/li>\n<li>Individualization of therapy in relation to the neurobiology of child age;<\/li>\n<li>Compliance with secondary reactions of the drugs and with contraindications;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>CONCLUSIONS<\/h2>\n<p>The phenomenon of \u201cviolence\u201d is a real conflicting state in families, regardless of culture, ethnicity, social origin, number of children, etc. This phenomenon has increased in recent years all over the world and imposed:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The foundation of certain \u201cViolence in the Family\u201d Emergency Centres \u201cDomestic violence\u201d, well equipped and furnished within the churches, but also independent centres with the help of local administrative bodies, NGOs, whose contribution in functioning is clearly beneficial;<\/li>\n<li>These emergency centres work with a multidisciplinary commission constituted ad-hoc, on admission to the centre by professionals from the medical and social care fields, who take immediate action for the whole family by providing a program of care, financial aid, measures to continue schooling, educating children and attendance of rehabilitation institutions for children with various NP dysfunctions;<\/li>\n<li>The specialists working at the Centre develop a comprehensive counselling program for parents and set up a school to educate the beneficiaries\u2019 behaviour, stimulating family tolerance and mutual help and education (for family members);<\/li>\n<li>The social care service, by completing the survey at each hospital admission informs on:- The type of family (see the categories listed in the paper);<br \/>\n&#8211; Economic situation of families;<br \/>\n&#8211; Cultural level of the parents assessing the educational potential of children;<br \/>\n&#8211; The medical staff assesses the morbidity level in family, disease stages, the effectiveness potential of the treatment and a rehabilitation program is developed as necessary in patients with multiple deficiencies, thus contributing to improved health and emotional homeostasis. Of course, laboratory investigations and imaging input helped us in a number of 7 beneficiaries, representing 3.5% of the total in the diagnosis decision and taking a correct attitude concerning the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>At family level, taking account of family needs in special cases, the Commission experts require that the <strong>children should be urgently institutionalised<\/strong>. This decision must be established with great responsibility.- Temporarily, a small number of beneficiaries was admitted to the centre to perform investigations and surgeries in a monitored manner. In the system of the rehabilitation of behaviours with neuro-psycho-somatic deficit, these children were included in rehabilitation programs in specific institutions of the day care centre type.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Under these circumstances, mayors of towns, villages have the task to:- find suitable housing to the Family;<br \/>\n&#8211; offer a job to a parent, thus providing a normal emotional homeostasis;<br \/>\n&#8211; Provide a more substantial material aid to families with many children, especially if they go to school;<br \/>\n&#8211; Make sure that people acting as \u201csocial workers\u201d inside municipalities, communes in particular, attend training courses and get familiar with social care issues. Then, in the future, they become able to solve problems of families with cases of violence as reported above.<\/li>\n<li>The intervention form (see Annex) is completed when performing the interview with the child. In these conditions, the child has some special needs (set out in the paper), being helped accordingly. After leaving the Emergency Centre, for a period of 12 months, families are monitored by the Emergency Centre\u2019s social worker, by DGASPC and by the Social Care Service within the local town halls, and in the end, a final report is made to close the case.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>BIBLIOGRAPHY<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Albert Ellis D.M. \u2013 T.C.E.R.
