This brief commentary is a response to the helpful responses to our article on the problem of the concept of gentle violence in obstetric care. We find ourselves in substantial agreement with our interlocutors. We suggest that naming individual actions on the part of health care personnel as violent may not be necessary for changing the behavior of these personnel and may in fact impede change. We suggest further that requiring health care personnel to accept our definitions of violence may in itself be an oppressive or epistemically violent act, probably less likely to lead to desired change than other approaches. We emphasize the need for more dialogue on victimology and the discursive complexities of trying to intervene in situations of structural violence.

这篇简短的评论是对我们关于产科护理中温和暴力概念问题的文章的有益回应的回应。我们发现自己与我们的对话者达成了实质性的一致。我们建议，将医护人员的个人行为命名为暴力可能不是改变这些人员行为的必要条件，实际上可能会阻碍改变。我们进一步建议，要求卫生保健人员接受我们对暴力的定义本身可能是一种压迫性或认知上的暴力行为，可能比其他方法更不可能导致预期的变化。我们强调需要就受害者学和试图干预结构性暴力局势的话语复杂性进行更多对话。
