“…This review of selected studies illustrates the various roles that religious and spiritual coping can play in the recovery process among interpersonal trauma survivors. Despite the growing evidence that individuals commonly engage in religious and spiritual forms of coping in the face of adversity (Chatters, Taylor, Jackson, & Lincoln, 2008;Koenig, Mc-Cullough, &Larson, 2001), few violence programs include a focus on the spiritual concerns of violence survivors (Jacinto, 2010). There is a need for the development and evaluation of mental health interventions that address and account for religious and spiritual forms of coping that promote recovery and posttraumatic growth.…”

Interpersonal trauma is pervasive globally and may result in long-term consequences physically, cognitively, behaviorally, socially, and spiritually (Bryant-Davis, 2005b). One of the protective factors that have emerged in the literature is religious coping. Religious coping, spirituality, and faith-based approaches to trauma recovery include endorsement of beliefs, engagement in behaviors, and access to support from faith communities. Compared with negative religious coping, spirituality and positive religious coping have been associated with decreased psychological distress, a finding established with survivors of child abuse, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, community violence, and war. This article focuses on spiritual and religious coping among survivors of child abuse, sexual violence, and war; however, research demonstrates increased use of positive religious coping among some survivors with higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder. Much of the scholarship in this area includes qualitative studies with populations who face increased vulnerability to interpersonal trauma. Research in this area covers the life span from childhood to later adulthood and encompasses both domestic and international studies. The implications of research findings are explored, and future research needs are described. This line of research supports the American Psychological Association (2010) ethical standards that note the recognition of spiritual and religious faith traditions as important aspects of the provision of ethical treatment. Researchers, clinicians, and advocates for trauma survivors are encouraged to attend to the faith traditions and beliefs of persons confronting the potential devastation of traumatic events.

“…While these categories do highlight resistance strategies, they suggest that more direct strategies are superior to other strategies utilized. They also exclude many other forms of resistance that women use, such as silence (Bhattacharya, 2009), safety strategies (Frohmann, 2005), social support (Jacinto, Turnage & Cook, 2010), and spiritual coping (Drumm et al, 2014;Jacinto et al, 2010). Therefore, for the purpose of this study, resistance is broadly defined as exercising power in any way (through action or inaction) that opposes and challenges gender-based violence and the dominant discourses associated with it (Crann & Barata, 2016).…”

“…The literature review discussed social supports as a source of survivors' resistance, resilience, and/or strength because they challenge the abusers' control tactic to isolate their partners (Jacinto et al, 2010;Pyles & DeChiro, 2012); however, the scholarship did not (Johnson, 2017;Morrow et al, 2004).…”

“…These statements display the powerful role that spiritual and religious coping can play in offering support to survivors of gender-based violence, which is typically sidelined in existing resistance research in this context. For both of these women, spirituality and religion were used as sources of strength (Drumm et al, 2014;Jacinto et al, 2010).…”

“It’s a struggle but it’s also a strength”: Embodied declarations of resistance, resilience, and strength amongst survivors of gendered violence

This study explores women’s representations and declarations of resilience, resistance, and strength within the context of gender-based violence through photography. A visual-narrative methodology is used to answer the following research question: In what ways do survivors resist gender-based violence at both individual and systemic levels? Photo-elicitation interviews were conducted with a total of three female survivors between the ages of 27 and 35 living in the GTA. The benefits of this study involve reconceptualizing women’s experiences of gender-based violence through creative expression, as well as disrupting dominant ideas of female survivors as “vulnerable victims” by constructing new accounts that depict strong, resilient women. The hopeful outcome of this study is that it informs current and future policy and practice. I hope that scholars, practitioners, and legislators will critically reflect on how their current and past research and practice may fall short of the rights and needs of women they work alongside.
