Working Towards Collaborative, Migrant-Centered, and Trauma-Informed Care
To screen or not to screen
Drawing on these themes, we offer recommendations that may help inform future screening approaches and trauma-informed service provision. The study ultimately helps those in the field to reflect on current trauma screening practices for forced migrants and consider how new insights derived from rich discussions with migrants and their service providers may alter existing screening processes- which few
The holistic healing arts retreat
Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of an intensive, experiential intervention, the Holistic Healing Arts Retreat, for improving posttraumatic symptoms (primary) and comorbid depression and perceived stress (secondary). Method: The sample consisted of women exposed to childhood physical or sexual abuse, sexual assault, or domestic violence in a two-arm randomized control trial comparing retreat now (n = 49) versus retreat later (n = …

Does Type of Child Risk Affect Whether Mothers Seek Assistance for Intimate Partner Violence From Civil or Criminal Court
We examined whether risks to children of intimate partner violence survivors affected the type of legal assistance accessed. We hypothesized that the level and type of perceived child risk would be associated with whether women sought a protection order in civil court or filed charges against a current or former intimate partner in criminal court. Using data from a sample of predominantly African American women (N=293), we found that some forms o…

Measuring Social Support in Battered Women
Social support is related to mental health outcomes among battered women. It is unclear, however, whether researchers should measure social support as a unidimensional or multidimensional concept. Efforts to identify the latent dimensions underlying a common measure of social support, the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL), have yielded inconsistent results. This study used exploratory factor analytic procedures to determine the most ap…
Battered Women’s Perceptions of Civil and Criminal Court Helpfulness
Although most battered women seeking formal help have some contact with court, limited research exists on what they find helpful and harmful about these experiences. Using qualitative data from low-income, largely Black battered women, this study finds that issues related to court outcomes, such as case disposition and enforcement, are important to evaluations of helpfulness. More frequently mentioned, however, are court processes, including trea…

Pathways Linking Intimate Partner Violence and Posttraumatic Disorder
Intimate partner violence (IPV), which includes physical violence, sexual violence, and psychological or emotional abuse, is a significant public health threat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that each year 1.5 million women are physically assaulted and/or raped by an intimate partner. However, because many victims of IPV are repeatedly abused, a more accurate accounting of the extent of violence suggests that appro…
Variations in Help-Seeking, Battered Women's Relationship Course, Emotional Well-Being, and Experiences of Abuse Over Time
Despite assumptions that leaving the batterer offers the best chance for improvement in battered women's lives, few studies provide conclusive data on this issue. Although many women eventually reunite with partners, also unexamined is the influence of relationship course over time. Five waves of data from 206 low-income, largely Black, help-seeking battered women revealed minimal differences in emotional well-being either initially or over time …

Longitudinal helpseeking patterns among victims of intimate partner violence
Current theory assumes that intimate partner violence (IPV) victims' helpseeking is a process that unfolds over time rather than a one-time event, but this assumption has never been explored with longitudinal data. This study describes the pattern of formal helpseeking efforts in a sample of 406 IPV victims over the course of a year. Further, we explore the relationship between legal and extralegal helpseeking, reflecting current controversy over…
Intimate Partner Violence, PTSD, and Adverse Health Outcomes
The high prevalence of adverse health outcomes related to intimate partner violence (IPV) is well documented. Yet we know little about the pathways that lead to adverse health outcomes. Research concerning the psychological, biological, neurological, behavioral, and physiological alterations following exposure to IPV—many of which are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—represents a promising area of empirical discovery. New tech…
Women’s Resources and Use of Strategies as Risk and Protective Factors for Reabuse Over Time
Using a longitudinal and ecological approach, we investigated the relationships between women's material and emotional resources and strategies and their ability to stay safe over time in a sample of 406 help-seeking African American women. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that social support served as a protective factor and resistance strategies as risk factors for reabuse during a 1-year period. It also showed an interaction between soci…

Ethnic Differences in Battered Women's Formal Help-Seeking Strategies
The primary goal of this study was to identify ethnic differences in battered women's use of health, mental health, and spiritual coping strategies, as well as differences in the perceived helpfulness of each strategy. The authors recruited a sample of 376 African American and Caucasian victims of interpersonal violence from various sites. In comparison with Caucasian women in the sample, African American women were significantly more likely to r…
The Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index
Although research has documented the myriad ways that victims of IPV struggle to keep themselves safe, little research has gone the next step to investigate patterns in women’s use of strategies, the factors that influence choice of strategies, or which strategies are most effective. One obstacle to conducting such research is the absence of an instrument to measure the nature and extent of battered women’s strategic responses to violence across …
Risk Assessment Among Batterers Arrested for Domestic Assault
Increased attention to the problem of domestic violence has brought with it a swell in the number of cases entering the court system. Particularly when resources are limited, it is critical to assess the dangerousness of such cases. This preliminary study attempted to add to the knowledge base about risk factors for continued abuse among batterers who have been arrested for domestic assault. Specifically, we investigated the predictive power of t…
Coercion in Intimate Partner Violence
Lifetime Prevalence of Violence Against Latina Immigrants
Although domestic violence plagues communities of all races, socio-economic status and geographical locations, some communities within the U.S. are more vulnerable because victims' alternatives to living with their abuser are more limited and they face more obstacles to obtaining the assistance they need to escape the violence. A particularly vulnerable group are Hispanic immigrants residing in the U.S. who have been described as living in more d…

Multidimensional Assessment of Woman Battering
Based on my experience as a domestic violence researcher, clinician, and forensic consultant, current methods of measurement are inadequate to capture a full understanding of the phenomena of battered women's experience. The reconceptualization of woman battering offered by Smith, Smith, and Earp (this volume) begins to fill a gap in research-and-assessment approaches to the problem of domestic violence. This commentary to Smith et al. addresses …

Sexual assault history in a community mental health center clinical population
Episodically homeless women with serious mental illness
Three aspects of physical and sexual assault in the histories of 99 episodically homeless, seriously mentally ill women were assessed: lifetime prevalence; severity, co-occurrence, and recency; and associations between levels of this victimization and specific characteristics of the women. Results indicate that the life-time risk for violent victimization was so high (97%) as to amount to normative experiences for this population
Systemic Obstacles to the Criminal Prosecution of a Battering Partner
It is well known in the criminal justice community that victims often wish to drop charges against their abusers, even after initially expressing enthusiasm about going forward. Despite the prevalence of no-drop prosecution policies, victim reluctance is important to understand because it is often the biggest obstacle to successful prosecution and because it implies that there are ways in which the court is not meeting victims' needs. There has b…
Court-Involved Battered Women’s Responses to Violence
Failure to understand the importance of psychological abuse as a component of domestic violence can result in little appreciation for the complexity of victims’ experience and thus a failure to provide the most effective intervention. This study examined the role of psychological abuse, physical violence, injury, and sexual abuse in predicting court-involved women’s (1) prior attempts to seek help from the justice system and to leave the batterin…
