This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present investigation was to answer the calls from numerous authors and extend counseling psychology's focus on the vocational needs of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) by investigating the relationship between psychological/emotional victimization and work-related self-efficacy expectations and work-related outcome expectations. Consistent with previous research (Albaugh & Nauta, 2005; Brown, Reedy, Fountain, Johnson, & Dichiser, 2000; Chronister, 2006; Chronister, Linville, & Kaag, 2008; Chronister & McWhirter, 2004; Chronister & McWhirter, 2006), the present study uses Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) (1977, 1982) as its theoretical framework. More specifically, this investigation conceptualizes the verbal and psychological forms of interpersonal violence as a form of Bandura's (1977, 1982) verbal persuasion learning experience. The overall aim of this examination was to determine whether the verbal and psychological aspects of IPV are related to a survivor's work-related efficacy expectations, outcome expectations, and goals. Such research is consistent with Counseling Psychology's historic attention towards vocational guidance and social justice, and could lead to interventions to enhance the lives of survivors of IPV. Data from 117 survivors of IPV residing in domestic violence shelters were used. All participants completed the self-report measures of IPV (i.e. Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory-Short Form; Tolman, 1999, Severity of Violence Against Women Scale; Marshall, 1992) and work-related self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations (WRSEQ; author composed, WROEQ; author composed). Participants also completed a 25-item demographic questionnaire which included an item assessing the length of participants' relationship (chronicity of abuse) and three items regarding their intentions to engage in work behaviors (work goals). The present data failed to show that psychological/emotional victimization significantly predicted survivors' work-related self-efficacy expectations or work-related outcome expectations, even when chronicity of abuse was considered. Results of the exploratory analyses did support SCT in that work-related self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations predicted work goals. The results also found that work-related outcome expectations mediated the relationship between chronicity of abuse and work goals and that older participants reported less positive expectations about the consequences of job-seeking and working than did younger participants. These findings also support the ideas underlying SCT.

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Treatment Processes and Outcomes in Psychology presents a multidisciplinary approach to a biopsychosocial, translational model of psychological treatment across the lifespan. It describes cutting-edge research across developmental, clinical, counseling, and school psychology; social work; neuroscience; and psychopharmacology. The Handbook emphasizes the development of individual differences in resilience and mental health concerns including social, environmental, and epigenetic influences across the lifespan, particularly during childhood. Authors offer detailed discussions that expand on areas of research and practice that already have a substantive research base such as self-regulation, resilience, defining evidence-based treatment, and describing client-related variables that influence treatment processes. Chapters in newer areas of research are also included (e.g., neuroimaging, medications as adjuncts to psychological treatment, and the placebo effect). Additionally, authors address treatment outcomes such as evaluating therapist effectiveness, assessing outcomes from different perspectives, and determining the length of treatment necessary to attain clinical improvement. The Handbook provides an entrée to the research as well as hands-on guidance and suggestions for practice and oversight, making it a valuable resource for graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and agencies alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an immediate and deep impact on our communities, the effects of which will be felt for years to come. For vulnerable individuals in our communities, such as survivors of domestic violence (DV) or intimate partner violence (IPV) and especially survivors who are experiencing multiple forms of oppression, the pandemic has uniquely affected their help-seeking activities, their access to resources to meet their basic needs, and their overall sense of safety and stability. For survivors who are experiencing multiple forms of oppression, the pandemic has exacerbated existing social inequalities and marginalization which while not directly related to their experiences of IPV also affects their overall sense of safety and stability. Service providers at community-based domestic violence agencies have been similarly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Practical challenges to providing direct services remotely, and a decrease in their sense of self-efficacy in their work and an increase in their own sense of isolation have made providing direct services to survivors of DV/IPV difficult during this time. This increases the risk of service provider secondary trauma and burnout. Service providers who also hold marginalized identities also experience additional identity-based harm during this time, and thus have an increased risk for feeling the impacts of secondary trauma and burnout.
Download or read book Family Violence in Primary Care written by Stephen Amiel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence within the family, whether directed against children, partners or elders, profoundly disturbs our notions of what the relationship between the family and the discipline of general practice should be. GPs are doctors to whole families and yet their relationships with patients are individual ones, drawing their strength from the principles of confidentiality, mutual trust and positive regard. Violence and abuse within families necessarily challenges all of these, creating a profusion of ethical, interpersonal and practical difficulties and dilemmas. At the same time the nature of general practice confers unique opportunities to deal effectively with family violence. GPs and GP registrars will find this book an invaluable and empowering resource. It brings together a broad range of expertise and opinion from relevant specialities and disciplines and sets family violence in its historical, epidemiological and societal context. It describes in separate sections, child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse, its presentations, diagnosis and treatment; and suggests ways forward for its prevention and early detection. It draws throughout on the experience of GPs, health visitors and social workers, providing practical safe and workable guidelines. Family violence can present to any member of the primary care team and there is much here that will be of relevance and interest to them all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Against Women written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A health-care provider is likely to be the first professional contact for survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual assault. Evidence suggests that women who have been subjected to violence seek health care more often than non-abused women, even if they do not disclose the associated violence. They also identify health-care providers as the professionals they would most trust with disclosure of abuse. These guidelines are an unprecedented effort to equip healthcare providers with evidence-based guidance as to how to respond to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women. They also provide advice for policy makers, encouraging better coordination and funding of services, and greater attention to responding to sexual violence and partner violence within training programmes for health care providers. The guidelines are based on systematic reviews of the evidence, and cover: 1. identification and clinical care for intimate partner violence 2. clinical care for sexual assault 3. training relating to intimate partner violence and sexual assault against women 4. policy and programmatic approaches to delivering services 5. mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence. The guidelines aim to raise awareness of violence against women among health-care providers and policy-makers, so that they better understand the need for an appropriate health-sector response. They provide standards that can form the basis for national guidelines, and for integrating these issues into health-care provider education.
