DIVÓRCIO NO BRASIL NO PERÍODO PRÉ E PÓS PANDEMIA DA COVID-19: UM ESTUDO ACERCA DA JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DO DIVÓRCIO NESSE PERÍODO

Divorce in Brazil reflects changes in family, social, and legal relations over time. This study explores the judicialization of divorce, highlighting its increase during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Pandemic challenges such as mobility restrictions drove the adoption of digital solutions to facilitate legal procedures, although logistical challenges arose. The study's qualitative approach seeks to understand the factors influencing divorce and its implications, aiming to contribute to more effective policies. Research findings indicate a significant decrease in the number of divorces in Brazil in 2020, totaling 331.2 thousand cases, followed by a significant increase in 2021, reaching a record of 386.8 thousand divorces. In 2022, there was a decrease to 68,703 cases until November, reflecting fluctuations influenced by social and economic conditions during the pandemic. The transition to the virtual environment during the pandemic facilitated divorce processes, with virtual hearings and digital document signatures, overcoming logistical challenges and delays in legal procedures. The analysis reveals significant variations in the number of divorces during and after the pandemic, reflecting social and economic changes. The transition to the virtual environment facilitated legal procedures, while changes in family structures demand supportive policies. Future studies can further explore the impact of technological adaptations on the divorce process, including the effectiveness of virtual hearings and the security of online communications.

Miracles in the MiddleAges and Today // Miracle Healing, Miracle Visions, and Miracle Narratives in the Premodern and Modern World

As much as we live today in a world that is seemingly mostly determined by rationality and technology, we are actually far away from such a status, fortunately so, at least depending on one’s perspective. Hidden behind much scientific research and a mechanistic world determined by machines, for instance, we can easily discover countless examples of superstition, faith, irrationality, wishful thinking, dreams, speculation, and imagination. This is fortunately so, indeed, because it respects the indigenous human nature irrespective of many faults and problems resulting from it. Contrary to Max Weber’s famous formulation, the modern experience of the disenchantment of this world was actually accompanied by a profound rediscovery of or return to magic, spirituality, and fantasy, whether we think of the Romantics, the high popularity of the genre of fairy tales, the ever-growing body of video games and related media today all predicated on science fiction and hence fantasy, or the world of movies. This paper, however, does not intend to develop a large concept about the history of science, the emergence of modernity and individuality, and the steady rise of rationality at the latest since the eighteenth century, all of which have been discussed already at length by historians, anthropologists, philosophers, literary scholars, art historians, and sociologists. Instead, the focus will rest on the belief in miracles and miracle healings and trace the vast discourse on charms and miracles from the early Middle Ages to the modern times as a constant, consistent, and impactful aspect of all human culture we cannot and should not deny if we want to subscribe to a realistic assessment of human culture and mentality. The argument focuses on the curious phenomenon that the belief in miracles continues to run strongly until today both among religious individuals and ordinary individuals who face, for instance, a desperate health situation, a personal crisis, or dangers of all kinds. Popular culture appears to be highly influenced by the belief in miracles, in divine agents who come to people’s rescue in critical moments, and hence the belief in the power of prayer. Each individual aspect would require an extensive scholarly discussion, which this paper cannot offer. Instead, I will trace primarily the discourse on charms and miracles from the early Middle Ages to the present, whereby we can determine the continuity of pre-modern ideas, values, and concepts as valuable aspects for all people throughout time. To make good sense, the concept of the charm as a verbal statement for a magical and religious transformation is widened to include all word magic in medicine, athletics, politics, friendship, and family relationships whenever there is a perceived need to draw from other powers for the well-being of a human being.

Family Involvement on the Effective Use of Education Technology in China: Status, Influence and Suggestions

The integration of Educational Technology (EdTech) into learning environments is transforming both formal education and family-based learning across the globe. In China, where the educational landscape is rapidly evolving, families play a crucial role in mediating the use of EdTech. This paper first explores the current state of EdTech use in households in China, including the types of EdTech tools used, the role of the family, and the existing regional differences. The influence of family factors on the adoption and effectiveness of EdTech for learning at home is further examined. Parents attitudes toward technology, particularly their willingness to engage with EdTech tools, play a pivotal role in determining how effectively these tools are used at home. Families socioeconomic status and parents education level also influence their ability to guide their children. Family relationships and how parents and children interact with technology also shape the effectiveness of EdTech. The paper concludes with recommendations for stakeholders, including parents, schools, and policymakers, on better leveraging EdTech for childrens academic and cognitive development. The findings suggest that family-centered EdTech design, enhanced collaboration between schools and families, and continuous parental learning can help maximize the potential of these technologies to improve learning experiences.

The training apartment in Siedlce plays a crucial role in the socio-professional support process for students with challenging behaviors. Participants in the program, who struggle with emotional and social issues, have the opportunity to develop independent living skills. An example is a student who initially exhibited aggressive and oppositional behaviors, hindering his functioning at school and in peer relationships. Through regular vocational practices and daily activities in the training apartment, he gradually acquired the competencies necessary for independent everyday life. The program emphasized an individual therapeutic approach that considered the needs and capabilities of the student. These activities supported the development of social skills, improved self-esteem, and motivation for learning. Emotional support was a key element, allowing the student to better cope with stress and emotions. Over time, with the help of specialists, he began to form more positive relationships with others, and his behavior significantly improved. Simultaneously, collaboration with the family was crucial, contributing to a better understanding of the student's needs and issues in the home environment. Parents were engaged in the therapeutic process, which positively impacted family relationships. The training apartment became a safe space for the student to function and learn from his mistakes. The program contributed to increasing the participant's autonomy and decision-making abilities. As a result, he gained more confidence and belief in his capabilities. The training apartment not only prepared the student for future independence but also for better integration into society. Gradually, he engaged in various social activities, supporting his interpersonal development. In summary, the project at the Special Educational Center in Siedlce demonstrates the importance of an individualized approach and understanding the specific needs of students with challenging behaviors. Its effects are visible not only in changes in participants' attitudes but also in the improvement of their relationships with their surroundings. The training apartment is thus an effective tool supporting the socio-professional development of youth with problems.

Exploring outside-in empowerment approach to improve the family's ability to manage schizophrenia disorder

Families often encounter a sense of despair and exhibit diminished capability when providing care for schizophrenia patients, predominantly due to restricted knowledge and lack of formal training and support. Existing strategies to empower families have been insufficient in effectively dealing with schizophrenia care. This study objective was to explore the relationship between family knowledge, coping skills, and interaction within the framework of outside-in empowerment and their ability to care for individuals with schizophrenia. This explanatory research utilizes a cross-sectional design and involves a sample of 135 families, acting as caregivers for schizophrenia patients, selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Regarding outside-in empowerment, knowledge is evaluated using a questionnaire developed from the concept of schizophrenia care, coping skills are measured using the Family Coping Questionnaire (FCQ), and family interaction is assessed through the Brief Family Relationship Scale (BFRS). The family's ability to manage schizophrenia is gauged using the Barthel Index and the Caregiving Tasks in Caring for an Adult with Mental Illness Scale (CTiCAMIS). All of the questionnaire has been tested for validity and reliability.The data analysis involves multiple linear regression at a 95% significance level.

Remotely Delivered Video Interaction Guidance for Families of Children With an Intellectual Disability Referred to Specialist Mental Health Services: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Children with an intellectual disability (ID) are 3-4 times more likely to present with behaviors that challenge and mental health problems than typically developing children. Parenting and the quality of parent-child relationships are risk factors for these families. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated difficulties, leading to an increase in child mental health problems and behaviors that challenge, a deterioration in parental mental health, and further strain on family relationships. Remote family interventions could be an effective solution for both families and specialist mental health services. Video interaction guidance (VIG) has shown promise for improving child mental health. However, it is unclear whether it is widely acceptable to families and feasible to implement across specialist child mental health services. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of delivering VIG as a remote intervention for parents of children aged 6-12 years with ID who have been referred to specialist mental health services. The study will be undertaken across 5-7 National Health Service specialist mental health services in England, involving 50 participants randomly allocated on a 1:1 basis to either the intervention group (receiving remote VIG) or the treatment-as-usual (TAU) group. The intervention group will engage in 3-5 cycles of VIG delivered remotely over 12 weeks. The primary feasibility outcomes include the recruitment rate, retention at 6-month follow-up, and VIG cycle completion rate. The secondary outcomes will assess the acceptability of VIG and the feasibility of remote implementation, including fidelity to the intervention protocol. Data will be gathered through online surveys and telephone interviews at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Feasibility outcomes will be summarized using descriptive statistics, while thematic analysis will be applied to qualitative data from semistructured interviews with participants, VIG practitioners, and service managers. An embedded process evaluation will explore barriers and facilitators to engagement with VIG, and a parallel health economics evaluation will assess the feasibility of capturing service use data and intervention costs. The trial was open to recruitment between December 2022 and March 2024. The first results should be available in 2025. The study is the first randomized evaluation of VIG as offered to parents of children with ID who have been referred to specialist mental health settings. The outcomes from this feasibility trial will inform the decision to proceed with a definitive trial, using a traffic light system to evaluate recruitment, retention, and VIG completion rates alongside qualitative insights and economic evaluations.

The waiting game: Anticipatory stress and its proliferation during jail incarceration

AbstractAnticipatory stress—or worries about the future that produce emotional distress—may explain some of the deleterious repercussions of incarceration for health. We use nearly 500 interviews with incarcerated men and their family members to describe anticipatory stress stemming from the stressor of jail incarceration, a commonly experienced but understudied type of confinement distinct from prison incarceration. We identify and explain how jail incarceration involves a powerful confluence of factors that give rise to anticipatory stress about adjudication, family relationships, the well‐being of loved ones, and reintegration. We describe three types of anticipatory stress proliferation between incarcerated men and their families. First, anticipatory stress commonly proliferates from incarcerated men to their children's mothers and their own mothers, with anticipatory stress being particularly salient when it involves the possibility of major changes, system irrationality, and powerlessness. Second, family members can experience anticipatory stress regardless of whether their incarcerated loved one reports anticipatory stress, shaped in part by men's extensive criminal legal contact. Third, family members with weak relationships with incarcerated men generally do not experience anticipatory stress despite the anticipatory stress endured by their incarcerated loved ones. This study provides a framework for understanding how other stages of criminal legal contact contribute to health inequalities among incarcerated people and their families.

Experiences of mutuality between Chinese lung cancer patients and family caregivers during chemotherapy: a qualitative study.

This qualitative study aims to deeply understand the emotional experiences of mutuality relationships between lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and their caregivers, providing insights for developing cancer-related mutuality interventions. Using a qualitative research method with semi-structured interviews, 15 pairs of patients and their caregivers from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Affiliated People's Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected as subjects. Data were qualitatively and inductively analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis method. Five themes and fourteen sub-themes were extracted from the experiences and interactions between patients and caregivers: reciprocity and mutual support (support provided by patients to caregivers, support provided by caregivers to patients), challenges (lack of communication, difficulty in adaptation, role changes, economic burdens), change and adaptation (living with the disease, social support), negative outcomes (increased burden on caregivers, disruption of social activities and family relationships), and intervention needs (need for disease knowledge, humanistic care, communication skills). The findings of this study provide healthcare professionals with information on the mutual support and challenges faced by chemotherapy patients and their caregivers in coping with cancer. This information aims to facilitate culturally-based psychological interventions, enhance mutuality, improve quality of life, and promote the entire family's adaptation to the disease.

A Narrative Exploration of Family Members' Perspectives of Life Story Phases Following Transition of an Older Family Relative Into Long-Term Care.

The transition of an older person from a home environment into long-term care is frequently unplanned and complex. Little is known about how relatives make sense of supporting the transition of their relatives to long-term care. This study explored family members' narratives of the process of supporting the transition of their older relative into long-term care. Life stories of six relatives who supported transitioning their older family relatives into a nursing home were collected using open narrative questioning in accordance with the Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method. Data was analysed using a dialogic/performance analysis narrative analytic method. Four key life story phases were identified: before transition, crisis event, transition and after transition. These phases varied in time duration and involvement of healthcare providers. The longest phase was 'before transition' where a process of slow deterioration became more apparent to the participants retrospectively. This was followed by the shortest period 'crisis event' where the older person was admitted to tertiary care. Two permeating themes: family dynamics and knowledge/understanding underpinned all life story phases. Relatives' knowledge, family dynamics and positioning of self-informed the duration of the life story phases of participants as they navigated the transition. Understanding nuanced differences in relatives' life story phases highlights how timing of information provision can affect the emotional adjustment of relatives experiencing this challenging process. Both community and gerontological nurses' offer real potential to provide tailored and effective responses to relatives depending on each life phase. Sequencing of information appropriate to the life phase could potentially ease the stress associated with transitioning to nursing home care, possibly preventing a crisis event from occurring. Anticipatory conversations also offer potential to alleviate relatives' concerns through life story phases.

Functional Limitations and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults in Korea: Gender Differences in the Moderating Roles of Relationship Satisfaction With Family, Friends, and Neighbors.

This study investigated the association between functional limitations and depressive symptoms among older adults in South Korea, focusing on gender differences in the moderating roles of relationship satisfaction with family, friends, and neighbors. Fixed-effect models were applied to five waves of data from the Korean Retirement and Income Study, encompassing 19,180 observations. Increases in functional limitations were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, regardless of gender. However, the moderating effects of relationship satisfaction differed by gender: For older women, satisfaction with family moderated the association, whereas for older men, satisfaction with friends played a moderating role. The findings suggest tailoring interventions to improve family relationships for women and friendships for men in mitigating depressive symptoms among functionally vulnerable older adults in Korea, where rapid population aging poses significant challenges to protect functional and mental health among older adults.

Deconstruction and Remodelling: A Grounded Theory Exploration of the Family Resilience of Disabled Elderly People in China.

This study aims to understand the family experiences of disabled elderly people facing adversity from the perspective of family resilience and to develop a theoretical model to explain the constitution of family resilience. Family resilience is the ability of families to cope with, adapt to, and recover from significant stressors and challenges. Although some studies have focused on disabled elderly people, the components of their family resilience have received little attention. A grounded theory. A total of 30 participants were selected by theoretical sampling, and all participants were from families with disabled elderly people in Chengdu, China. Data were obtained via semi-structured interviews. The COREQ checklist for qualitative research was followed. A theoretical model of family resilience for disabled elderly people was established based on three categories: family organisation, family beliefs, and family relationships. Family organisations include the organisation model and resources; family beliefs include coping styles and adversity remodelling; and family relationships include communication and atmosphere. These categories suggest that there are several similar components of family resilience for disabled elderly people, which can be used to understand how families cope with this challenging experience by adjusting their roles, resources, and perspectives. Our findings are believed to offer significant theoretical and practical implications for improving the resilience and well-being of families with disabled elderly members, improving the effectiveness of caregiving services, and guiding strategies for disabled elderly individuals, their families, caregivers, and researchers. Healthcare professionals must recognise that disability impacts not only the individual but also the entire family system. The process of disability is slowed by early intervention, and psychological counselling services are provided to relieve stress and anxiety. Training in practical skills can be provided to build social support networks to help them cope with challenges.

Are We All Vampires? Gothicism as an Interdisciplinary Tool for Cultural Diagnosis in Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects

ABSTRACT Nowadays, Gothicism takes on a form of discourse that is particularly well suited to highlighting contemporary anxieties, especially in such areas as gender, family relations, sexuality, and power structures. It’s a popular choice across different media due to its transhistorical and interdisciplinary nature. This article reviews Gillian Flynn’s novel Sharp Objects (2007) from this particular perspective. The book gained widespread attention in Poland during the time when women’s rights to self-determination were being limited by a right-wing government. The Gothic nature of the book’s world and its parallelism with reality have made it particularly resonant with contemporary Polish women. Therefore, this article uses cultural literary theory, psychoanalysis, and gender studies tools to analyze how Flynn transforms well-known Gothic tropes and motifs, demonstrating how she subverts established cultural expectations around women’s writing, femininity, and motherhood. The concept of vampirism is central to the critical meaning of the text and its derivatives in various versions, including domination, physical and symbolic violence, the uncanny, the legacy of place, blood, and colonial history.

Comparative genomics analysis of the MYB gene family in barley: preliminary insights into evolution and biological function in Blue Qingke.

The Myeloblastosis related (MYB) family is one of the most widely distributed transcription factor families in plants and plays a significant role in plant growth and development, hormone signal transduction, and stress response. There are many reports on MYB family species, but the research on Qingke is still limited. This study used comparative genomics methods to analyze gene and protein structure, protein physicochemical properties, chromosome localization, and evolution. A bioinformatics approach was used to systematically analyze the HvMYB gene family. At the milk stage, soft dough stage, and mature stage, White and Blue Qingke grains were selected for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), among which two proteins interacted (HvMYB and HvMYC). The expression of this gene family was analyzed through RNA-seq, and the expression levels of HvMYB and HvMYC in the grains of two different color varieties were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Finally, the interaction between HvMYB and HvMYC was verified by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) experiments. A total of 92 Qingke HvMYB genes were identified and analyzed, and 92 HvMYB proteins were classified into five categories. Cis-acting elements associated with abscisic acid response, light response, and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) response were found in the promoter regions of most MYB genes. Using qRT-PCR combined with RNA-seq analysis showed that MYB gene was highly expressed in the soft dough stage and was varietal specific. Subcellular localization indicated that HvMYB was located in the nucleus and cell membrane, HvMYC was located in the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. Through BiFC analysis, it has been proven that HvMYB in the MYB family and HvMYC in the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family can interact. This study provides a preliminary theoretical basis for understanding the function and role of the Qingke MYB gene family and provides a reference for the molecular mechanism of Qingke gene evolution.

Tinjauan Hukum Keluarga Islam Terhadap Tradisi Ngakuk Salah dalam Perkawinan Adat Komering di Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Sumatera Selatan

Weddings in the Komering tradition have many processions starting from before the wedding to after the wedding. One of Komering's traditional traditions is to confess falsely. Ngakuk Salah is taking a woman with the condition of giving her juadah (glutinous rice cake). The tradition of admitting one's mistakes has been around since ancient times. Most people don't know when the ngakuk salah tradition existed, because this tradition is inherited from their ancestors, they still carry out this tradition even though the ngakuk salah tradition in its implementation is not like marriage in general. The problems observed in this research are how the practice of the ngakuk wrong tradition in Komering traditional marriages in Ogan Komering Ulu East Regency, South Sumatra, what is the impact of the ngakuk wrong tradition in Komering traditional marriages in Ogan Komering Ulu East Regency, South Sumatra and a review of Islamic family law on the ngakuk tradition wrong in traditional Komering marriages in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra. The method used is a qualitative method, namely a method of producing descriptive data. Researchers use data collection including: observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on field findings, the conclusion of this research is that the first traditional practice of ngakuk is wrong in Komering traditional marriages in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, namely rasan tuha (negotiation of certainty). Second, determine the certainty of wrongdoing by the male family by bringing ½ can of juadah (sticky rice cake) or 7.5 kg. The third implementation of ngakuk salah is at the man's residence and is carried out on the main road until the wedding ceremony is finished. The impact of the tradition of confessing wrongly in traditional Komering marriages in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency is that if a married woman cannot receive inheritance and adoq from her parents. Another impact that occurs from this wrongful marriage is that there is no longer any family relationship or position of the children to their parents and if the husband and wife have divorced or are divorced according to customary law then they are allowed to return to their families. This review of Islamic family law regarding the practice of wrongful confession traditions in Komering traditional marriages in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency does not conflict with Islamic religious norms and customary law because it must still follow the rules in Islamic law as well as in customary law.

Unpacking Cultural Hybridity and Diasporic Femininity in Jhumpa Lahiri's The Lowland

This paper aims to illustrate the traumas, moral quandaries, sorrows, and, in the end, the cultural hybridity of diasporic women found in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland. Her novel helps us understand the psyche of these women of a new age since it resonates to them. Lahiri depicts a fusion of politics, history, and their impact on a family's life in The Lowland. The novel has been loosely drawn on a large canvas to depict the multigenerational tale of personal goals and choices. This novel portrays the international diasporic culture of the twenty-first century as well as the multiculturalism and metamorphosis of the immigrants. Because her female protagonists accurately depict the diasporic difficulties that affect them in daily life - such as cultural tensions, marginalization, family relationships, customs, rituals, a sense of not belonging, transformation, and adaptation - this study is extremely important.

An abductive exploration of sustainability implementation intent among family business successors: extending the theory of planned behavior

This study explores factors driving family business successors’ intent to implement sustainable practices. Using an abductive approach with 15 second-generation successors, we identified eight primary factors influencing sustainability implementation intent: environment, future orientation, business improvement, family relations, employees, customers, values and mindset, and community development. Three moderating variables were also found: personal resistance, external factors, and financial expense. Our findings contribute to family business and sustainability literature by proposing a novel theoretical framework capturing the complex interplay of factors shaping successors’ sustainability intentions. This research offers insights for promoting sustainability in family firms and enhancing their long-term resilience.

Family Relations of Muslims in the Post-Soviet Space: Main Features and Approaches to Psychological Counseling

The family relations of Muslims under present-day conditions are undergoing a signifi cant transformation. The increase in the number of divorces makes it necessary to look for the ways to resolve family confl icts and to harmonize marital relations. In this regard, the requirements for the qualifi cation of family psychologists consulting Muslim couples and families are increasing. It is not enough to master one or another method of family counseling for working with Muslim families. The most important role is played by the formation of the specialist's intercultural competence, as well as by mastering the knowledge and understanding the ethnic, religious and regional specifi cs of the clients. The culture of Muslim ethnic groups is collectivistic, which aff ects the relationships both within a married couple and within an extended family, whose role in Muslim communities is still important. In the article, this thesis is illustrated by the analysis of the author's practical case of family counseling. The author, based on the consideration of ethnic and religious values underlying Muslim family relations, examines the most eff ective psychotherapeutic approaches in working with Muslim families and couples.

Quality of Life Priorities of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors Enrolled in EORTC Studies, and a Comparison of Instruments

ABSTRACTPurposeSurvivors of childhood cancer can suffer from long‐term sequelae or decline in quality of life (QoL), for which careful and standardized selection of outcome measures become more important. This study aims to assess different QoL‐related outcomes using three distinct questionnaires in an international study, identify the priorities of childhood ALL survivors via the administered questionnaires, and investigate potential interrelationships among QoL domains across the questionnaires.MethodsChildhood ALL survivors treated according to the EORTC CLG treatment protocols 58741, 58831/2, and 58881 were recruited in Belgium and France and answered self‐report QoL questionnaires, including the Short‐Form Health Survey 12 (SF12), the Quality‐of‐Life Systemic Inventory (QLSI), and the Impact of Cancer for Childhood Cancer Survivors (IOC‐CS). To explore which scales overlapped or were novel, Pearson correlations were used to explore associations. In addition, based on the QLSI, we checked whether each of the top priorities of childhood ALL survivors were covered by the SF12 or IOC‐CS, by mapping their scales quantitatively and qualitatively.ResultsQoL data for 186 survivors were provided. Priority areas, as assessed by the QLSI, were vitality, physical abilities, memory, overall physical health, sleep, interaction with friends, love life. Love life was an important source of happiness (for 42%), and for some reported as the domain they were unhappiest in (13%). Quantitative mapping shows moderate correlations between the SF12 scales and IOC‐CS scales: life challenges, body and health, thinking and memory, and socializing. Qualitative mapping highlighted additional important domains, specifically family, romantic and friendship relationships, and sleep and memory.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the measures complement each other, but are less valuable in isolation for ALL survivors. Using a cancer survivorship measure, combined with some additional items covering priorities might provide a more holistic picture.

Coaching in the Presence of Acknowledged and Unacknowledged Domestic Abuse: Implications for Coaching Practice and Training

Coaching provides a space for clients to explore what they need in order to reach their personal and professional potential with resulting action and growth. However, very little attention has been paid to romantic and family relationship dynamics where healthy boundaries and attempts at change can trigger vengeful and dangerous reactions. This position paper highlights the need for increased attention on this topic within our profession. It explores the complexities of acknowledged and unacknowledged domestic abuse, philosophical stances that may have influenced its neglect, practical implications, and pathways towards greater awareness and training around domestic abuse in the coaching profession.
