Violence is physical force against a living thing (vandalism is physical force against inanimate things). The things you're talking about are emotional/verbal abuse (which are still also bad, and you could argue are worse than physical violence, but they are not violence).
I've seen definitions of "violence" that include verbal abuse; I agree that the latter is more universally understood, but I don't think the choice of words is the point of the post
Probalby a question of the language you use, maybe this is the reason why OP is writing about psychological violence. German knows "psychological violence" as a term (psychische Gewalt) and it is beeing used.. Also in russian we call it "психологическое насилие". I also see, that the wikipedia article about "psychological absue" says that, that "psycholotical violance" is an other name for that.
