Abstract

This article proposes principles for working effectively with survivors of domestic violence. Recommendations are based on a review of the available literature and organized within the following sections: therapist competence, therapeutic framework and relationship, assessment and diagnosis, the structure of the treatment process and relationship, interventions for dealing with posttraumatic reactions, and group interventions. The relevance of the delayed memory debate for domestic violence survivors is also discussed. The complexity of battering dynamics and the need for sensitive, competent treatment of victims are emphasized. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
