| dc.description.abstract | This study explored the self-identity constructions of South African adolescents with a history of family violence Twelve
school learners were purposively selected for the study (11 females, ages 15-18 years) They completed semi-structured
individual interviews The data were thematically analysed The findings suggest that the adolescents’ self-identities in the
context of family violence seem to be characterised by polarities of love versus hate, protect versus blame, and compassion
versus anger and resentment The adolescents also self-defined in terms of coping and resilience despite elevated risks of
self-harm behaviour | en_US |
