Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine a serious issue, domestic violence, in relation to the Hispanic and American cultures. Domestic violence is prevalent in both cultures and much damage can be done if the pastoral caregiver is not aware of the dynamic that is at work in such situations. By using the pastoral model of ministry, the community becomes a refuge for the victim of domestic violence and a milieu for the healing of the dysfunctional family. Listening and confrontation are the techniques that the minister can use to enable the victim to trust and gain perspective on the situation. I present the Duluth model as a way of becoming educated about this dynamic. This model of control and power was developed in Duluth, Minnesota as a result of experience with the victims of domestic violence.
