The Clinic of Three Perspectives and Abusive Relationships:

A Theoretical Essay!

Abstract

Understanding abusive relationships is fundamental to promoting the psychological and emotional well-being of the individuals involved. This work, entitled "The Clinic of Three Perspectives and Abusive Relationships," proposes a multifaceted analysis of these dynamics, seeking to explore not only the factors that contribute to the formation of dysfunctional relationships, but also the therapeutic methods that can be effective in their resolution. It is a qualitative theoretical study. Several important dimensions are observed in relation to this very current and contemporary theme, since there is a range of factors to be taken into consideration. The Clinic of Three Perspectives proposes, based on its phenomenological theoretical support, that the therapist understand the person by considering their perspective on themselves, their perspective on the other, and the perspective they cast on the other's perspective. This last one is the most present in so-called abusive emotional relationships. Several important themes are considered, such as: a look at abusive relationships, the Clinic of the Three Perspectives, emotional impacts, the influence of culture on relationships, identification of signs of abuse, consequences of abusive relationships, interventions and management. It is concluded that the "Clinic of the Three Perspectives" makes it possible to unveil how individual perspectives, regarding the understanding of oneself, the perspective on the other, and the perspective cast upon the other's perspective, particularly those of victims, intertwine to construct a complex web of abuse. Therefore, it becomes crucial to observe this multidimensionality of factors present and the contribution of significant interventions that empower the abused person to confront and overcome these situations, which are still very present in our contemporary world.
