While it may be difficult to identify the causes of physical abuse, there are several models (the psychodynamic models, interactional models, and environmental-based models) that may lead a parent to engage in abusive behaviors. Select one of the models to discuss and then identify the risk factors that impact the family dynamics, parent, and/or child. In response to your peers, identify protective factors that may support the family in avoiding or overcoming physical abuse.
