Why do they stay?

Victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) are commonly faulted for being in their situation. If they leave and then return, they become the subjects of yet more societal disdain. IPV can happen to anyone, anywhere. The mechanisms of IPV are intricate and complex, but all are related to a phenomenon called Abusive Traumatic Bonding™ (ATB™).

An ATB™ is a deeply compelling, utterly irresistible bond formed between two Intimate partners, victim and perpetrator. Participants of this workshop can expect to be informed about the dynamics of IPV and why it is almost impossible to escape this nefarious dynamic. Why victim-blaming occurs and how to manage clinician countertransference when working with victims of IPV will also be highlighted. The presenter, who has over 20 years of experience working with domestic violence survivors, will share relevant clinical examples to enhance social work practice.
