Resources - Working with Survivors Living with Trauma and/or Mental Illness
The aftermath of partner violence. This book chapter examines how researchers have defined and measured the consequences of partner violence and how different definitions of scope and methodology have produced different perspectives on the problem. The chapter also documents the extent and severity of psychological outcomes of partner violence presented in different studies, explores factors that mediate between partner violence and outcomes, and reviews the social impact of partner violence on marital relations, the medical and criminal justice systems, and intergenerational family patterns of violence. The author comments on the intervention implications of the research. Giles-Sims, J. (1998). In J.L. Jasinski and L.M.
