In Search of Protective Processes for Children Exposed to Interparental Violence

Abstract

SUMMARY Although clinicians have been called upon to develop empirically based interventions for children, the field of family violence has only just begun to answer the call. The purpose of the present paper is to integrate theory, research, and clinical work in order to create an intervention model that is empirically informed and empirically testable. To this aim, literature is reviewed that sheds light on risk and resilience in children exposed to interparental violence. Attention is given to the risk outcomes associated with exposure to violence, the mechanisms by which those negative effects come about, the protective processes that can buffer children from risk, and the methods available for studying those processes.
