The textbook has many examples of domestic violence and abuse, specifically in chapter 15 it does a great job in explaining the many factors that influence this behavior. The text does a good job of explaining how the abuse occurs on a physical, sexual, psychological, and economic level to control a partner or child (Gladding, 2015). I think it is very important to look at all these aspects and evaluate, which are more severe on a case by case basis. I was also very interested in the assessments it discussed for domestic violence, such as the common couple violence (CCV) and the severe abusive violence (SAV). The CCV is based on a low-level violence that is initiated by either women or men, which is infrequent and noninjurious (Gladding, 2015).

Understanding these concepts is important for all aspects of life. The text book has a great visual of these concepts and the concepts of equality this would be a very helpful visual to use if you have a client who is involved in a domestic violence relationship. I could see myself working with client’s who are experiencing this type of abuse and would want to empower them to feel capable to get out of these difficult situations. One interesting piece of this type of family therapy is that they stated that both parties have equal responsibility, which is a very controversial view (Gladding, 2015). I myself feel biased about this, but can see why they would say this because we all have choices although sometimes they are very hard choices. This approach is to be used for client’s who do not have multiple and/or severe experiences of domestic violence, which makes sense to me. Couples therapy should not be undertaken if there is a history of two or more acts of severe physical violence within a 12-month period, or when it is used to establish control, intimidate, punish, demoralize, exploit, or instill fear (Gladding, 2015). I think as a clinician it would be …show more content…

I think as a clinician it would be very difficult to deal with a very severe case and I also think it would be easier to help those with mild forms of domestic abuse. Although I know it is usually an ongoing scenario
