COURSE
DESCRIPTION
According
to the Attorney General’s Office, each year nearly six percent of
adult women experience some form of physical violence perpetrated by their
intimate partner. In fact, one-third of all women murdered in the U.S.
are killed by a domestic partner. Although women are most often the victims
of domestic violence, incidents of domestic violence are increasing against
men and in gay and lesbian relationships. This intermediate course examines
the latest research, detection, and intervention strategies for working
with victims and perpetrators of abuse in intimate relationships. The
course features numerous case examples and is loaded with practical clinical
intervention tips, tools, and techniques.
