Résumé
Même s’il est bien connu que le point de vue des personnes exposées à la violence conjugale dans l’enfance ou l’adolescence peut agir comme facteur de risque ou de protection, encore peu de recherches s’intéressent à la subjectivité de ces personnes et à leur façon de définir cette violence. Le présent article examine les quelques recherches qui se sont penchées sur le point de vue des personnes exposées à cette violence et sur ce que celle-ci représente pour elles. Une analyse critique de ces études fait d’abord ressortir que ces personnes ont une façon bien à elles de comprendre le phénomène, mais qu’il y a des nuances importantes, puisqu’elles ne constituent pas un groupe homogène ayant un parcours de vie et un point de vue totalement identiques. Par ailleurs, les études recensées comportent aussi certaines limites qu’il faudra surmonter dans les recherches futures afin d’approfondir les connaissances sur le point de vue des personnes exposées à la violence conjugale et de répondre de façon plus adaptée à leurs besoins spécifiques.

Abstract
While it is known that the perspective of individuals exposed to intimate partner violence during childhood or adolescence may act as a risk or protection factor, little research has examined subjectivity among these individuals and how they define such violence. This article presents the few studies that have looked at the perspective of those exposed to intimate partner violence and what this phenomenon represents to them. A critical analysis of these studies indicates that individuals exposed to this violence have a very personal way of comprehending this phenomenon but that significant nuances exist since these individuals do not form a homogeneous group with a totally identical life experience. In addition, the studies examined also contain certain limitations that future research must overcome in order to expand our knowledge of the unique perspectives of individuals exposed to intimate partner violence and to more appropriately meet their specific needs.
