"He was my ruler" : A qualitative study of women´s experiences of psychological violence in a close relationship (English)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study has been to, through a qualitative interview create an understanding of abused women and their experience of psychological violence, how it has affected their emotional experiences and mental health and how relationships with people outside the relationship have been affected. Four female participants were interviewed where they shared their experiences and opinions of living with psychological violence in a close relationship based on the following questions: How do women feel that their emotions and health are affected by being exposed to psychological violence? How have abused women's relationships with people outside the relationship been affected? The study is based on previous research that deals with abused women's emotions, mental health, and social relationships as well as sociological theories. The theories used are Thomas Scheff's social bond and shame theory, Susan Scott's theory of role-playing and guilt, Erving Goffman's theory of prominence and facade, and Catherine Haslam, Alexander Haslam and Jolanda Jetten's theory of social ties and mental illness.

The results show that the informants experienced strong feelings of guilt and shame, as their everyday lives were marked by violations, guilt, and manipulation. Women's social relationships with those around them were affected due to controlling behaviors or feelings of shame. All informants became ill in mental illness, where eating disorders were most common.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien har varit att genom en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning skapa förståelse hur våldsutsatta kvinnor upplever att psykiskt våld i en parrelation påverkat deras emotionella upplevelser och psykiska hälsa samt hur relationer till personer utanför parrelationen påverkas. Fyra kvinnliga deltagare har intervjuats där dem delat med sig av sina upplevelser och erfarenheter av att leva med psykiskt våld i nära relation utifrån följande frågeställningar: Hur upplever kvinnor att deras emotioner och hälsa påverkats av att utsättas för psykiskt våld? Hur har våldsutsatta kvinnors relationer till personer utanför parrelationen påverkats? Studien baseras på tidigare forskning som behandlar våldsutsatta kvinnors emotioner, psykiska hälsa och sociala relationer samt sociologiska teorier. Teorierna som används är Thomas Scheff sociala band och skam teori, Susan Shotts teori om rolltagande och skuld, Erving Goffmans teori om framträdande och fasad, samt Catherine Haslam, Alexander Haslam och Jolanda Jettens teori om sociala band och psykisk ohälsa.

Resultatet visar att informanterna upplevde starka känslor av skuld och skam, då deras vardag präglades av kränkningar, skuldbeläggning och manipulation. Kvinnornas sociala relationer till sin omgivning påverkades på grund av kontrollerande beteenden eller känslor av skam. Samtliga informanter blev sjuka i psykisk ohälsa, där ätstörning var mest förekommande.
