The question that a lot of people wonder is why do the woman stay in the abusive relationships. Domestic violence against women has been considered as high as one in four. The risk is very high for women that is younger and those that has children. In this study, it will give a broader understanding of what causes domestic violence and how to prevent it from continuing to happen. With these findings, it will also show how some women have limited options for support and protection against their abuser and how the public lack the understanding that domestic violence should not be something that is acceptable.

...3.2 million American children witness incidents of domestic violence annually.2 Witnessing domestic violence can lead children to develop an array of age-dependent negative effects. Research in this area has focused on the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional effects of domestic violence. Children who witness violence in the home and children who are abused may display many similar psychologic effects.3,4 These children are at greater risk for internalized behaviors such as anxiety and depression, and for externalized behaviors such as fighting, bullying, lying, or cheating. They also are more disobedient at home and at school, and are more likely to have social competence problems, such as poor school performance and difficulty in relationships with others.5–9 Child witnesses display inappropriate attitudes about violence as a means of resolving conflict and indicate a greater willingness to use violence themselves.3,4,10 Although there is general...

...social or mental development of a child. When one screams or yells at a child, it affects their emotional growth. Calling them names or a shaming them affects their social life at a certain level (Help, 2010). The last form of abuse is when one neglects a child. This is when one stops to provide the basic or physical needs (adequate food, housing, medical attention and clothes) of a child it also includes not supervising a child. There has been a number of theories over years trying to explain the history of child abuse. Currently only six theories try to explain the source of child abuse. These theories use two main methods to explain child abuse the first one is adorning ones action, and the second one is copying ones behavior (Champe, 2012). Research shows that children who are abused grow up to be abusive because of copying ones behavior and they grow with it into adulthood. Children who abused grow up to be criminals and end up in prisons. These theories try to explain how parents and children should relate in...

...73 years later than the approximated time period Trifles was concluded to occur in (“History of Battered Women’s Movement”). This proves that leaving the abusive relationship would be impractical as there would be nowhere else to go. John Wright isolated Minnie to the point where she had no social contact with people she used to know fondly. Therefore, if Minnie attempt to leave, she would not have the support of anyone since her relationships would have declined from the lack of contact. Studies have also found that the victims of abuse tend to have a mixture of fear and anger when they respond with violence as an act of rebellion or retribution (Colvin and Mackenzie 19). For Mrs. Wright, it could be defined as both. In a sense of rebellion, Minnie murdered her husband because she was tired of living under his control. The killing of the canary was the last straw for Minnie because she noticed how far his authority extended and how much freedom was taken from her. Minnie would also want to avenge the canary now that it was her only companion in the lonely farmhouse and represented who she once was. Further, victims of abuse are more prone to use weapons when they attack their abusers, even when their abusers are unarmed because they tend to believe that there is an unequal amount of strength in the relationship. This explains why Minnie took action while John was asleep because he wasn’t able to fight back. He was at his most vulnerable state and Mrs. Wright used that to her...

...parents’ methods. There are also certain programs that have been developed to influence cognitive development. Family’s effect on Development One’s family and their influences affect them during infancy and early childhood more than any other period in their lives. If a child’s family is attentive, sensitive and responsive the child tends to develop better. Family’s show this during the child’s infancy and early childhood in manners such as a gentle reassuring touch, overheard conversation, and facial expressions which improves the speech of young children (Berger, 2011). Families are the first teachers for infants and young children. It’s this relationship between young children and their families that determine how they development. “Early relationships help infants developing a working model, a set of assumptions that become a frame of reference for later life” (Berger, 2011). Parenting Styles According to Developmental Psychologist Diana Baurind’s study of one hundred children revealed that parents differ on four dimensions. They consisted of expressions of warmth, communication, discipline strategies,...

...Running Head: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Crisis Reaction Paper SW 521 Lisa Moffett Rosie Thomas Domestic Violence Intimate partner violence (IPV) in the United States continues to be a growing public health concern. Research reveals that 1 in 4 women have experienced domestic violence in her lifetime; 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner yearly and 85% of domestic violence victims are women (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a problem that affects millions of Americans. The term "intimate partner violence" describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. The violence can occur among heterosexual or same-sex couples and does not require sexual intimacy (http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/intimatepartnerviolence/index.html). Intimate partner violence affects people all socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, age gender, religion and sexual orientation. The purpose of this paper is to provide a case scenario of a person who has experienced domestic violence. The paper will also discuss the role of the crisis worker, the crisis intervention method appropriate for addressing the needs of the client and the theoretical basis of the intervention. Case Scenario Tina is a 17 year-old African American female referred by the Victim Advocate at a local emergency room. Tina was thrown from her boyfriend’s car during...

Cybernetics: a science of communication concerned with the transmission and control of information; it examines the communication and manipulation of information in various systems . General Systems Theory (GST): interested in systems in general; family systems theory is an extension of this branch . Definitions and Terms Three Uses/Definitions: General Systems Theory (GST) is used to explain the behavior of a variety of complex, organized systems. GST is also a process of theory construction which focuses on building universal concepts, postulates, and principles. GST, as a worldview, emphasizes interrelationships between objects. Terms Isomorphism: Refers to equivalence of form: there is a one-to-one correspondence between elements and relationships. Cybernetic system: systems with feedback. Core Assumptions of General Systems Theory GST Has Potential for Unifying Science: suggests that there are unifying principles in every discipline; GST is a way to consider isomorphism between them. A System Must Be Understood as a Whole Von Bertalanffy: promoted the notion that a family, or any system, is greater than the some of it's parts.

...| Personal Theory of Counseling:Applying Cognitive Therapy to the Case of Donetta | | | Background The theory of cognitive therapy resonates with me because of my personal belief in the power of the mind. It is my opinion that without the process of changing mindset, behaviors will not change. The mind has control over every single action and tells your entire being how to respond in every single situation. As stated in the Corey (2009) text, I believe that people with emotional difficulties often times tend to “commit characteristic logical errors that tilt objective reality in the direction of self-deprecation” (p. 288). Through my own therapy experience I came to understand the connection between my thinking, my feelings and my actions. I learned to identify distorted thinking, engage in realistic thinking, and to employ problem-solving and coping skills. This method helped me through my own difficult times and therefore I know it works and would like to help others through its use. View of Human Nature People possess faulty beliefs and maladaptive information processing (automatic thoughts) which can lead to cognitive distortions and depression (Chadwick, 1994). In cognitive therapy clients learn to identify these distorted cognitions through evaluation. Corey states (2009) that once clients gain insight into how these unrealistically negative thoughts affect them, their feelings, and behaviors; they can begin to “use their automatic thoughts to...

...examine the roles forgiveness therapy has on emotionally abused women in the article The Effects of Forgiveness Therapy on Depression, Anxiety, and Posttraumatic Stress for Women After Spousal Emotional Abuse. According to Reed and Enright (2006), forgiveness therapy is designed to help the client let go of the anger and resentment that stems from a justifiable wrongdoing. The researchers believe that forgiveness therapy will be beneficial to the women who were emotionally abused by their spouse because it targets the resentment the woman has for the abuser. These emotionally abused women often times experience learned helplessness and accusatory suffering. Learned helplessness often occurs when women develop self-blame in response to their abusive spouse’s criticism and ridicule. Whereas accusatory suffering is when the emotional abused spouse continues to feel like the victim and hold onto the resent. Because of the nature of emotional spousal abuse, forgiveness therapy can be very beneficial (Gayle & Enright, 2006). Gayle and Enright (2006) hypothesized that women who participate in forgiveness therapy will have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress and higher levels of self-esteem, finding meaning in their suffering, and environmental mastery than those in the alternative...

...underlie human behavior, feelings and emotions; how they relate to early childhood experiences . . . (Sher & Sher, 2015). Intergenerational and psychoanalytic family therapies can be described as an approach to the study of how a person’s maladaptive behavior is influenced by unresolved issues within the family dynamics and multigenerational processes. Psychodynamic (intergenerational and psychoanalytic) family therapies apply to the protagonist in the major motion picture Antwone Fisher because of the traumatic incidents he experienced during his childhood and adolescent years: childhood physical, sexual, and mental abuse; neglect and abandonment; death, grief, and loss; repressed emotions, identity and self-worth issues, interpersonal relationships, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These concepts also apply to Antwone because of current rage/anger issues he is exhibiting. According to the Association for Advanced Training in the Behavioral Sciences (2015, p. 18) psychodynamic family therapy combines elements of classic (Freudian) psychoanalytic theory and other psychodynamic approaches with systems theory. Psychodynamic family therapy represents the fusion of two seemingly contradictory views of human behavior: (a) the psychoanalytic view that considers behavior to be the result of innate unconscious drives and (b) the family system view...
