Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social problem
affecting both men and women worldwide that can lead to a variety
of negative mental and physical health effects. This book contains
nine chapters that address the problem of IPV, exploring methods of
preventing IPV as well as treatment for victims of IPV. Chapter One
centres on the issue of blame, reviewing current research on the
associations between self-blaming attributions and psychological
outcomes among survivors of IPV. Chapter Two proposes a theoretical
reflection on the phenomenon of domestic violence based on its
understanding as a problem sustained by cultural beliefs and
discourses and which can be tackled through education and the
promotion of public debate, by means of institutional
advertisements. Chapter Three highlights the importance of capacity
building Brazilian police forces to tackle cases of IPV as well as
to protect and enable victims to fully exercise their rights.
Chapter Four argues that the Domestic Violence Risk instrument used
by Portuguese police to assess IPV cases should be reworked, as it
tends to assign a medium level of risk in cases that the scientific
community would likely associate with high risk. Chapter Five
discusses the relationship between IPV and academic stress. Chapter
Six reviews research on factors affecting women's treatment
engagement in the aftermath of IPV, including characteristics of
the violence/violent relationship, types of mental health problems
following IPV, and individual differences in personality and
demographics. Chapter Seven deals with the coping mechanisms
available to women living with HIV/AIDS in Tanzania who experience
IPV. Chapter Eight details the relevance of methodological and
ethical aspects of studies on violence involving children and how
these requirements may affect research validity in this domain.
Finally, Chapter Nine presents a study of violence against women
media campaigns that use graphic imagery and how they impact fears
of behaving assertively and of victimization, safety self-efficacy,
and collective female self-esteem.
