Abstract

Objective: This article proposes to debate the possible correlations between the Parental Alienation process and the process of Violentization, in order to explore its possible theoretical implications as well as to raise awareness about the damage that the naturalization of the first practice and the internalization of its effects can cause to the vulnerable public of children and adolescents.

Method: Based on the methodology of bibliographic survey and questionnaire application, we seek to explore the concepts brought by radical interactionism (Athens), such as ghost-community and violence, along the lines proposed by Ceretti and Lorenzo, with the practice of Parental Alienation described by Brazilian Law No. 12.318/2010.

Originality: Parental Alienation has been expressly described as psychological violence in Brazil since the enactment of Law No. 13.431/2017, but previous works that have explored the process of Violentization presented here in the analysis of Parental Alienation were not found.

Results: The literature review carried out evidenced the proximity between the process of Violentization described by Athens and the consequences caused by the process of Parental Alienation within the family, through which a child or adolescent learns a reference of abusive behavior that will affect their adult life, which was suggested by exploratory empirical research, presented in the article.

Theoretical contributions: This article reinforces the risky nature of the act of Parental Alienation. In addition, it broadens the range of its analysis by the Institutions of the Justice System and demonstrates the need for the theme to be included in the scope of Public Policies in the field of family and children and youth.

Contributions: Given that there is currently a campaign for the repeal of the Parental Alienation Law, the article points to the need to maintain Law No. 12,318/2010, given the demonstration of the complex phenomenon of Violentization included in this practice, with potential for intergenerational transmission.
