This advanced course comprehensively explores the complex and multifaceted issue of domestic violence, structured in two parts. It offers an in-depth overview of domestic violence, including detailed definitions, an exploration of the psychological and systemic barriers that prevent victims from seeking help, and advanced techniques for assessing domestic violence within clinical practice. Core clinical challenges and treatment dynamics that therapists face when working with victims of domestic violence will be examined, with an emphasis on evidence-based interventions. Additionally, the course will analyze the therapist's role in advocacy, identifying when advocacy becomes appropriate or when it conflicts with the therapeutic process. Through case study analysis, participants will develop advanced skills in assessment, safety planning, and ethical decision-making tailored to diverse populations. This course is designed for postgraduate-level clinicians seeking to deepen their expertise in working with victims of intimate partner violence.
