Tag Archives: child to parent violence in Spain

6th October – fact of the day

The Spanish Society for the Study of Filo-Parental Violence (Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Violencia Filio-Parental; SEVIFIP) was established in 2013.

SEVIFIP assembled an 11-person expert panel, reviewed existing definitions, analysed them and developed a definition intended to be precise and useful for both research and intervention.

Since then, SEVIFIP has established Spain as a global leader in filial violence research and practice. They organise regular national conferences and developed an Observatory of VFP, publications, research activity, training and a resource map. Its current website describes a community through which professionals can exchange knowledge and access research, publications and developments in the field.

Similarly, I hope that practitioners and researchers from around the world will take the time to let us know what is going on where they are. We can all be encouraged in hearing of the progress and developments of others. Continue reading →
