title: [Family violence and generations].
abstract: Starting with a description of the place and function of violence inside families, the author raises than the topics of the professional's ethic and responsibility when working with family violence. It is not always easy for professionals to evaluate responsibilities particularly when they try to take into account as many contextual factors as possible. They could worry to become too Manichean and to see themselves as following only a linear causality.
