Systematic Review of Trauma-focused Interventions for Domestic Violence Survivors

Systematic Review of Trauma-focused Interventions for Domestic Violence Survivors is organized by CEmobile, LLC.

Course Credit(s): 2 CE Credit or Hour

Course Description:
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a form of trauma that can result in significant mental health distress for victims. Rates of clinical depression and posttraumatic stress disorder are higher among abused versus non-abused women, particularly if victims have experienced other lifetime trauma. While there are numerous interventions designed to reduce trauma-induced mental health symptoms, most were originally developed to address events that have occurred in the past (e.g., combat, childhood sexual abuse).  Many IPV survivors are still under threat of ongoing abuse or stalking, which not only directly impacts their physical and psychological safety but impacts treatment options, as well. Little is known about the extent to which existing evidence-based trauma treatment modalities are applicable to, or require modification for, IPV survivors. This course reviews the trauma-based treatments that have been designed or modified specifically for IPV survivors and provides cautions and recommendations for moving forward.

Learning Objectives:
• Analyze the effectiveness of modifying cognitive behavioral therapy for IPV survivors
• Analyze the effectiveness of trauma treatments for specific groups of IPV survivors
• Analyze the effectiveness of integrative interventions that address trauma for IPV survivors

Note:- This course does not expire.
