Domestic violence presentation (crisis intervention)
- 1. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BY: VICTORIA A PULIDO SUBJECT: CRISIS INTERVENTION UNIT 7 ASSIGNMENT
- 2. DID YOU KNOW????? • One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime
- 3. FIVE FORMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE • Physical • Sexual • Psychological • Emotional • Economic • Physical or emotional abuse directed at partners, siblings, children or elders is considered domestic violence. If anyone in your family is experience abuse, there are organizations and local authorities who need to get involved. Organizations can help you cope with violence, recover from the pain of abuse and go on to experience the joy and trust of supportive happy relationships.
- 4. NESTED ECOLOGICAL THEORY • Because no single factor theory has effectively explained the battering phenomenon, an integrated, multifactor approach may be the best way to understand the complexities of battering (Brewster; 2002), Dutton (1985, 1995) proposed an ecological theory that integrates many of the foregoing theories. Four layers of variables operate within the ecosystem. First is a core of individual experience compose of intrapersonal psychological factors such as shame, denial, and hostility. Second is a family system layer, in which the individual experiences such negative actions as abandonment, neglect, and abuse. Third is a community/peer layer, which inculcates fundamental religious training, alcohol and drug use and rigid gender role socialization. Finally in a larger societal context, the individual is exposed to sociopolitical gender inequities, media portrayal of subjugation and violence against women and racial/ethnic prejudices. As a result it is not just one but many factors that operate within the individual in interpersonal relationships and throughout the larger social environment that are communicated and synthesized to make battering a viable option. (Hampton, Vandergriff-Avery, & Kim, 1999)

Editor's Notes
- * An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year * The majority (73%) of family violence victims are female. Females were 84% of spousal abuse victims and 86% of abuse victims at the hands of a boyfriend * Historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they know * Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk for intimate partner violence.
- Violence in the home harms everyone in the family. Children are especially vulnerable. When they see violent behavior between family members or when they’re abused themselves, they may grow up to be abusive to their partners or children. As parents it’s our responsibility to prevent family violence and this cycle of abuse. (www.cdv.org)
- One of the most typical reasoning individuals confess to is psychological entrapment. Which proposes that the women does not leave the relationship because she feels she has too much time, energy and emotion ,invested in it (Brewster, 2002) or she would feel shame if her terrible secret were found out (Buchbinder and Eisikovits, 2003). She engages in wishful thinking that some miracle will occur or that she can somehow change the significant other and a nonviolent, intimate, and loving relationship will emerge. For some women the shame of their battering and the failed relationship is so great that they will do anything to keep it from public view. So hence the cycle continues. (Crisis Intervention Strategies, Chapter 10)
- As we can see above there are a couple if not a few cycles a victim can and does go through. The Power and Control Wheel not only consists of what is stated above but also Isolation; Controls what she does, who she or he sees and talks to, and where she goes. Denies access to car or any transportation. Removes support system by relocating. Threats; makes and/or carries out threats to do something to hurt her emotionally. Threatens to commit suicide, report her to welfare, take away the children and/or her emotional support system. Threatens divorce or to have an affair. Threatens to discuss her HIV status. Using children; Makes her feel guilty about the children. Uses the children to give messages. Uses visitation as a way to harass her. Under-responsive as a parent abusive and controlling with children. Economic Abuse; Tries to keep her from getting or keeping a job. Controls her access to money. Launders money, hiding investments. Immigration; Uses her undocumented status to threaten her with deportation, loss of medical treatment, etc. Domestic Violence is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. Violence against women is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma and sometimes death. The consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime. (www.woodbridgedvrt.org)
- Domestic violence is a complicated and uncomfortable issue, one no often spoken about in public. But it is an issue which affects all of us – if not directly than indirectly. There has been a lot of domestic violence research but somehow the findings of this research fail to get the headlines that are warranted by the size and severity of the problem. As a human rights issue which affects more than 3 million children every year, it is shocking that domestic violence remains a secret. Hearing that more than half of school age children in domestic violence shelters show clinical levels of anxiety or post traumatic stress disorder can make you stop and think. So can hearing that 75% of boys who are present when their mothers are beaten were later identified as having demonstrable behavior patterns. (www.woodbridgedvrt.org)
- Protection orders are approximately 20% of the 1.5 million people who experience intimate partner violence annually obtain civil protection orders. The time immediately after a protection order is served can be a particularly dangers time for the victim. Only approximately one-quarter of all physical assaults, one-fifth of all rapes and one-half of all stalking's perpetuated against females by intimate partners are reported to police. Domestic violence is one of the most chronically underreported crimes. (www.cdv.org)
- Women thrive for transformational change to reduce, prevent, and address domestic violence, rape, bride burnings, dowry deaths and other kinds of violence and abuse against women and girls. Together we can change the status quo and create a world where domestic violence, rape and other forms of violence against women become a thing of the past. (www.woodbridgedvrt.org)
