“…Intimate partner violence includes threat or use of any type of violence (physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, financial, and spiritual) perpetrated primarily against women by their current or former spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend (see Yllo & Bograd, 1988;and Walker, 1994). Intimate partners who practice this do so in order to gain and maintain power and control over the victim.…”

While literature on elder abuse has expanded, elder abuse by intimate partners has been less investigated. Even less is known about intimate partner violence among older Koreans living in North America. This article identifies important cultural considerations for individuals helping the Korean older adult community beginning with the definition of intimate partner violence in this community and barriers to leaving that include traditional views of the East Asian self. Current practice interventions are discussed and recommendations for future practice such as healing han, the accumulated suffering from years of abuse, are suggested. The ultimate goal of this paper is to expand awareness in order to develop the best culturally competent prevention and intervention practice for Korean older intimate partner violence survivors in North America.

“…Family violence researchers asserted that most IPV was bidirectional and that men were victimized as often as women (Gelles, 1980). Conversely, feminist researchers and advocates argued that IPV was the result of men's patriarchal control and was primarily experienced by women (Dobash & Dobash, 1979;Martin, 1981;Walker, 1994;Yllo & Bograd, 1988). Johnson (1995) proposed that these two groups of researchers were sampling from very different populations.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a social problem that affects roughly 5.3 million women in the U.S. each year, accounts for 1,300 deaths, and often results in a number of physical and mental health consequences. Many women seek counseling as a way to find relief from the symptoms of the abuse they have endured.Unfortunately, women often find the available resources to be inadequate or worse, damaging. Misdiagnosis, non-violent re-victimization, and even blame are

“…Several societal level theories have been proposed in recent years such as general systems theory and various versions of feminist theory that emphasize gender-based inequalities of power and control (Sev'er 2002;Yllö 1993). A substantial number of studies show a statistically significant relation between patriarchal dominance and the occurrence of IPV (Brownridge 2002;Smith 1990;Yllö and Bograd 1988). The higher rate of aggressive behavior in men than women (across all cultures) may be a consequence of the predominance of patrilineal systems and the marginalization of matrilineal systems (Mathur and Salmi 2006).…”

A review of the literature finds that the development of infants exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) may vary across sex as boys display more externalizing behavior, while girls show more internalizing behavior. Given this trend, gender-and sex-based analysis (GSBA) may play a critical role in understanding and improving the adjustment of these infants. Researchers are often encouraged to include gender and sex into their analysis, though they are rarely afforded appropriate direction in this process. The intention of this article is to provide guidance in GSBA for research on infant development in families affected by IPV. We present a discussion on GSBA, a review of the literature, explanations for differences in male and female infant development, a set of research priorities, and directions for future work. Findings suggest that a better understanding of the complexities in the adjustment of violence-exposed infants through GSBA may promote childhood development.
