    Intimate partner violence cast such a large net over our society. This is what struck by most in the power and control documentary and the Ted Talk. Intimate partner violence cuts across all backgrounds and seriocomic classes and can affect anyone no matter their status. The aspect of both the Ted Talk and the documentary I found most striking was how almost all intimate partner violence fallows the same pattern from the background of the abuser to the tactics of power and control they employ which then cycle back to impacting their children. In both the documentary and the Ted talk the background of the abusers seemed to be very similar.…

    Chronic exposure to the stress, fear and in some cases physical violence that may be associated with Domestic Violence and Dating Violence may result in Complex Trauma. Complex Trauma may be caused by interpersonal stressors that are systematic and premediated and its effects may be cumulative, severe and long-lasting. Instead of a single traumatic incident, the victim experiences a process of traumatization that may produce feelings of helplessness, powerlessness and loss of control. Actual physical violence may be episodic or infrequent but compounded by other, less visible, forms of abuse.…

    Interpersonal violence against women is endemic in our society. Thus, it is estimated that 14% to 20% of women will experience rape at some point in their lives; that 25% to 28% will be physically abused in a sexual-romantic relationship; and that 8% to 24% will be stalked by someone they know or by a stranger. When these statistics are added to the 25% to 35% likelihood that the average adult woman has been sexually abused as a child, it is clear that the epidemiology of interpersonal violence against women is a pressing social issue (Briere & Jordan, 2004). Equally concerning is the association between these various forms of victimization and mental health issues in women. Female survivors of sexual trauma are vulnerable to a wide range of…

    Bringing awareness to teen dating violence is important and is a huge step that can be taken. The community can come together and provide information about partner violence through sessions that may be involved with psychologists that could give lots of feedback with what they have heard when having clients involved in teen dating violence.

Middle and high schools should provide information about what exactly teen dating violence is since this is the period in a adolescent child’s life when they start dating. Schools can have assembly gatherings dedicated to teen dating violence.…
