Studies have examined the relationship between IPV and mental health. However, there is limited knowledge on women who seek help from police stations because many studies have used samples of women residing in domestic violence shelters and medical clinics. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand self-reported mental health symptoms among women seeking help from a police station. Evidence shows that there are many variables that affect the link between IPV and mental health. This dissertation specifically explores the impact of demographic risk factors, type and number of IPV incidents, victim referral needs, and protective factors (social support, coping strategies, and economic resources) on self-reported mental health symptoms. Data from case records of women victims of IPV seeking help from a city police station located in the southwest, United States, were examined to identify: (1) the type and incidents of IPV, (2) demographic risk factors of age, ethnicity, marital status, and financial dependence, (3) protective factors of social support, coping strategies, economic resources, and (4) self-reported mental health symptoms. The sample consisted of 154 women majority (42.9%) of whom were aged between 31-40 years. Nearly half of the women were married (51.9%), about 45.5% were Whites, 28.6% Black/African Americans, 18.8% Hispanic/Latino and 7.1% were categorized as others. More than half of the women experienced physical violence (70.1%); 9.1% experienced sexual violence; 14.9% experienced emotional/stalking violence and 5.8% experienced combined violence. Approximately 67.5% of the women reported some mental health symptoms. Bivariate analyses showed that there were significant differences in mental health symptoms based on protective factors of social support, coping strategies, and economic resources. Contrary to the expectations of this dissertation, those who had more resources significantly reported more mental health symptoms. In addition, those who had more resources reported fewer IPV incidents but these differences were not significant. Overall, victim referral needs, social support, coping strategies, and economic resources were all positively correlated with mental health symptoms. Further, social support was found to postively predict mental health symptoms among women. Coping strategies fully mediated the relationship between the interaction variable of IPV and victim referral needs, and mental health symptoms. Social support and economic resources did not mediate this relationship. Results from this dissertation indicate that development of individuals' protective resources may help protect women from repeated IPV and improve their mental health and well-being. Specifically, coping strategies may reduce the negative impact of IPV on women's mental health. In discussing prevention and intervention efforts with women who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing IPV, social work practitioners need to emphasize the important role of coping resources as a protective factor mental health symptoms.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: AN OVER VIEW The term violence derives from the Latin word "vis" which means force and refers to the notion of constraint and using physical superiority on the other person (Minayo & Souza, 2003). For a woman, violence is a phenomenon which generally starts at conception and continues till her death. Especially in India, pre-birth selection and female foeticide is a common phenomenon and the preference for a male offspring is widespread. Discrimination of girls/women continues in different ways such as access to adequate food and available medical facilities, extreme burden of household work etc. All these lead to lack of appropriate education, awareness and empowerment among women. Further vulnerability is compounded by early marriages and early child bearing. Thus women often experience violence or abuse in every phase of their life-cycle. Many researchers (Barbara & Ellsberg, 2002; Watts & Zimmerman, 2002) in their research also stated that a woman in her lifetime undergo different forms of violence right from her conception to till death. Violence of any form overshadows her identity and morally degrades her. Though violence against women (VAW) comes in a number of forms, however, the most frequent and targeted form of VAW is domestic violence (DV). This form appears in discrete manner and can take place under diverge situations and involves random acts of violent behaviours that are specifically targeted towards women of different age groups, classes and cultural backgrounds (Felipe & Pirlott, 2006). Domestic Violence is a common pattern of violence that occurs daily at homes across geographical locations. In the year 2005, WHO conducted a worldwide study to determine the prevalence of DV against women. The study found that globally nearly 30% to 60% women experienced domestic abuse. It also showed that among the abused women, 13-61% reported physical violence by their partners (Aygül, Yavan, Sahiner & Kiliç, 2012). Among all the countries studied by WHO (2014), Japan had the lowest rate of violence whereas Peru had the highest rate of PV against women (Garcia-Moreno, Jansen, Ellsberg, Heise, & Watts,

According to global survey data, 30 percent of women who have ever been in a relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence, perpetrated by their intimate partner. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), it is estimated that 29.8 percent of ever partnered women have been physically or sexually abused by their partners. This report leverages insights from the behavioral sciences, including behavioral economics, social psychology and neuroscience, to provide recommendations to improve the design of survivor services in the LAC region and, ultimately, to lead to better life outcomes for women. We aim to provide policymakers and service providers alike with: 1) A diagnosis informed by qualitative research of potential behavioral barriers that service providers and survivors face in the process of delivering and accessing services, respectively; and 2) Proposed interventions ideas, informed by a review of the behavioral science literature, that can be tailored to existing services and evaluated for impact.

This book examines international perspectives on intimate partner violence (IPV). It highlights the current state of IPV prevention and intervention efforts across countries, including Colombia, Iran, Russia, China, India, Turkey, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Finland, and the United States. The book examines the countries of origin in context (e.g., population, area, religion, ethnic diversity) and includes current rates of IPV in each country. In addition, it addresses growth areas and challenges regarding IPV prevention and intervention, including legal issues as well as cultural and social contexts and their relation to IPV – and the clinical interventions used – within each country. The book discusses challenges and opportunities for growth and seeks to gain a more robust and systemic perspective on the global phenomenon of IPV. It examines how larger social, cultural, and global factors affect the lives of the individuals whom family therapists serve and advocate for as well as provide guidance for culturally appropriate clinical and prevention practices. Key areas of coverage include: · International perspectives on intimate partner violence. · Intervention and resources available for victims of intimate partner violence. · Policies and laws relating to intimate partner violence. International Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence is an essential resource for clinicians, therapists, and practitioners as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in family studies, clinical psychology, and public health, as well as all interrelated disciplines.

Domestic violence (also referred to as family or intimate partner violence) is a public health problem that continues to affect the lives of individuals of all backgrounds, with women and children being the most common victims of acts of physical, psychological, and sexual violence. Longstanding research has recognized the mental health sequelae of domestic violence and the potential role of social, economic, and environmental factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only heightened the risk of domestic violence, but called for greater awareness of the need for efforts to address this public health concern, especially under extreme circumstances of social isolation. Consisting of 11 chapters, this reprint addresses the mental health correlates of domestic violence among various populations globally, the impact of COVID-19 on victims of violence, and potential preventative and intervention measures to address domestic violence in communities. Overall, the reprint draws attention to the impact of domestic violence on the health and well-being of individuals while recognizing possible solutions to address this public health concern.

Intimate partner violence (IPV), including physical, psychological, and sexual violence towards a partner, is a human rights violation that is associated with the development of a multitude of short- and long-term physical and mental health problems (WHO, 2013). IPV survivors are at greater risk of developing mood, anxiety, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders (García-Moreno et al., 2005). Public health guidelines recommend screening for IPV in mental health settings (WHO, 2013). However, most mental health practitioners do not routinely assess for IPV in their practice (Howard et al., 2010). Lack of training in how to assess for and respond to IPV has been identified as an important barrier for IPV assessment in mental health settings (Trevillion et al., 2016). IPV-related training has been linked to positive outcomes for clinicians, including higher ratings of perceived knowledge and confidence in addressing IPV (Forsdike et al., 2019). Yet, studies suggest that approximately one quarter to one half of mental health professionals have never received IPV-related training (Murray et al., 2016; Nyame et al., 2013). To address this gap, the WHO advanced a series of evidence-based training recommendations (WHO, 2013). At present, there is a dearth of research exploring the degree to which global mental health providers' experiences of training resemble WHO guidelines. Furthermore, few studies have investigated factors that contribute to clinicians' likelihood of participating in IPV-related training, and reasons for obtaining training are not well understood. There has also been no previous research into the relationship between mental health professionals' experiences of training and their accuracy in correctly identifying IPV. The present thesis, consisting of two studies, sought to assess global mental health providers' IPV-related training experiences, including factors that influence the probability of participating in training and the relationship between training and diagnostic accuracy. In study 1, mental health professionals' IPV-related training experiences were surveyed, and factors that may contribute to the likelihood of participating in training were explored (e.g., IPV prevalence, norms, and legislation, and professional experience with IPV). The relationship between IPV-related training and knowledge and experience of relationship problems was also examined; 321 specialized mental health professionals (psychologists and psychiatrists) from 24 countries participated in an online survey. Participants responded to a series of questions regarding the content, duration, and frequency of their IPV-related training based on WHO recommendations, and rated their level of knowledge and experience with relationship problems. Descriptive analyses showed that nearly half of participants (46.9%) had never received IPV-related training. Approximately half of those who received training (49.4%) indicated that their training followed WHO recommendations. Logistic regressions revealed that participants who were from countries with relatively better implemented laws addressing IPV and participants who encountered IPV more often in clinical practice were more likely to have received training. Furthermore, participants who received training were more likely than those without training to report higher knowledge and experience of relationship problems. Findings highlight global challenges with regards to IPV-related training. They suggest that clinicians' likelihood of participating in training is related to their clinical contact with IPV and the institutional context in which they practice. Study 2 investigated the relationship between IPV-related training and clinicians' diagnostic accuracy in the context of relationship problems, using the same sample as study 1. Chi-square analyses evaluated relationships between IPV-related training and clinicians' performance while assessing for clinically significant relationship problems (RPM) in case-controlled vignettes across two study conditions: RPM present (i.e., when the task was to correctly identify RPM) and RPM absent (i.e., when the task was to correctly identify that there was no RPM; normative relationship problems were presented). Results showed that participants who received IPV-related training were more likely to perform better than those without training in the RPM present condition, but not in the RPM absent condition. In the RPM present condition, participants were more likely to respond correctly when their training was more recent and more closely resembled WHO recommendations for training. In the RPM absent condition, a similar percentage of participants with training (60-78%) and without training (45-76%) misclassified normative relationship problems as clinically significant RPM. Overall, findings suggest that IPV-related training is related to improved diagnostic accuracy in the context of relationship problems. WHO recommendations for training are supported.
