“…With the second wave women's movement in the 1970's, IPV and its consequences became visible in the United States and Britain, and since then substantial progress within these countries has been made in increasing awareness and responsiveness, including the formation of IPV crisis hotlines, shelters and other services (Davies et al, 1998). The idea that women are passive recipients of IPV and powerless to change their situations because of a pattern of repeated abuse (Parker-Corell & Marcus, 2004) was rejected within the United States in the 1980's after several studies showed that women are not passive recipients of abuse (Parker & Gielen, 2014;Goodman, Dutton, Weinfurt, & Cook, 2003). An alternative theory was proposed which suggested that women become increasingly active in their attempts to stop violence, and are more likely to engage in help-seeking behavior as the frequency and severity of violence intensifies (Gondolf & Fisher, 1988;Goodman et al, 2003;Davies, et al, 1998).…”

“…Studies on the effectiveness of SP, however, are limited, and no known studies have investigated the effectiveness of incorporating SP into existing CBT approaches. One review study on safety strategies used by IPV victims identified only one study out of nine that examined SP techniques (Parker & Gielen, 2014). In that study conducted in the United States by Goodkind and her colleagues (2004), female participants were asked which safety strategies they used, and the consequence of each strategy.…”

“…One of the most widely recommended interventions that is frequently identified as a crucial step when working with battered women is called Safety Planning (SP) (Campbell & Glass, 2009;Eden et al, 2015;Glass, Eden, Bloom, & Perrin, 2010;Herman, 2015), and is referred to as a structured procedure for enhancing the safety of women in IPV situations that includes the gathering of information, evaluation of the current situation, decision-making for the type of advocacy and resources needed, and the identification of future strategies on how to respond effectively to violence (Campbell, 2001;Davies et al, 1998;Parker & Gielen, 2014). This review article aims to discuss the process and importance of generating safety plans with IPV victims, including those seeking trauma-related psychological care.…”

Intimate partner violence refers to coercive behaviors used by individuals against their intimate partners systematically. Intimate partner violence (IPV) victims can experience physical, sexual and psychological aggression, including economic coercion and stalking, perpetrated by their intimate partner. Approximately one third of women all over the world have experienced physical or sexual violence perpetrated by an intimate partner. Besides the physical harm that is frequently observed as a result of intimate partner violence, psychiatric conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression, may also develop or worsen as a result of victimization.Safety planning is a widely used intervention by mental health professionals to enhance the safety of intimate partner violence victims. The process includes the gathering of information, evaluation of the existing situation, decision-making for the type of advocacy and resources needed and the identification of future strategies on how to respond effectively to violence. Although it is seen as the first step of helping battered women and trauma informed care in the United States, the safety planning technique is being limitedly used in Turkey only by women shelters.The current review will summarize the characteristics and theoretical rationale of safety planning, discuss the safety planning process, clarify therapists' responsibilities about safety planning, highlight research findings on the effectiveness of safety planning with intimate partner violence victims, and consider the integration of safety planning into existing cognitive and behavioral therapeutic practices.Keywords: Domestic violence, intimate partner violence, safety planning, cognitive behavioral therapies, PTSD, depression Öz Güvenlik Planı Hazırlama: Eş Şiddeti Mağdurları ile Çalışan Profesyoneller için Hayati Nitelikteki İlk AşamaEş şiddeti (EŞ), eşe karşı sergilenen saldırgan ve zorlayıcı davranış kalıpları ile tanımlanmaktadır; fiziksel, cinsel ve psikolojik saldırıların yanı sıra ekonomik kontrolü ve ısrarlı takip kavramlarını da kapsamaktadır. Bütün dünyada, kadınların neredeyse üçte biri eşlerinden fiziksel ya da cinsel şiddet görmektedirler. EŞ sonucunda ortaya çıkan fiziksel zararın yanı sıra TSSB ve majör depresyon sıklıkla gözlenen psikiyatrik sonuçlar arasında yer almaktadır.Güvenlik planı hazırlama, EŞ mağduru kadınlarla çalışan profesyoneller tarafından yaygın olarak kullanılan bir müdahale olup kadınların güvenliklerini sağlamayı amaçlayan yapılandırılmış bir süreçtir. Güvenlik planı hazırlama şu aşamaları içerir: bilgi toplama, var olan durumu değerlendirme, ihtiyaç duyulan kaynakların biçimi ve nasıl bir savunmaya ihtiyaç duyulacağı hakkında karar verme ve gelecekte şiddete etkin bir şekilde nasıl yanıt verilebileceği konusundaki stratejilerin belirlenmesi.

“…This elimination plan is paramount for the health and well-being of South African women considering the country has simultaneously been ravaged by the epidemic of gender-based violence and the highest documented rate of femicide in the world (Wong, Huang, DiGangi, Thompson & Smith, 2008). While GBV may be perpetrated in many different ways by all sorts of men who encounter women publically and privately, the private form of GBV-intimate partner violence (IPV)-is the most pervasive globally (Maman, Mwambo, Hogan, Kilonzo, & Sweat, 2002) and is used as a proxy for GBV (UNAIDS, 2015a).…”

One theory is that men who batter are more likely to be infected with HIV and transmit infections through forced sexual activity (Dunkle et al).…”

DEDICATIONMy respect and appreciation for Dr. Anita Barbee is far reaching and everexpanding. From one dynamo to another, she inspires that academics can be humble, funny, and creative and still get things done with great integrity. She makes even the hardest work look effortless and fun! Her love for my daughter and compassion for me as a mom remind me how strong women can be when they work together. There is not another soul like her, and her encouragement has been priceless. p=.059). The protocol was found to be feasible to implement, having impressive retention, brevity in administration, and high usage of safety strategies with minimal risks resulting from participation. Satisfaction was confirmed through positive participant ratings and safety through both non-significant group differences on the HIRS scale (t(1, 237)= -1.09; p= .278) and the perceived benefits of study participation far outweighing harms.Women receiving the protocol displayed notable self-determination towards selfprotection and suffered significantly less re-assault upon partner notification. The number of participants utilizing certain safety strategies suggests this brief intervention was effective in galvanizing South African women to reclaim power x and act towards the betterment of their health.Findings herald the promise of a protocol that effectively mitigates IPV to improve HIV outcomes. The effectiveness of the HIRS protocol, in facilitating safe partner notification of serostatus, could be a significant contribution to the knowledge base, but more research is needed to confirm these results.

Worldwide one in three women report intimate partner violence. Many of these women report long term mental health problems, especially PTSD, which is associated with negative problem solving, isolation, somatization, depression, and anxiety. Children are impacted by their exposure to domestic violence and experience internal (i.e., depression, anxiety) and external (i.e., hostility, delinquency) behavioral clinical problems. To predict which women will experience chronic PTSD symptoms, a PTSD predictor tool was developed and applied to PTSD symptom scores four years after 300 mothers with children (age 18 months to 16 years) received assistance for the violence. At four years, 266 (89%) of the 300 mother child dyads were retained. Of those, 245 met inclusion criteria for this study and 53% had scores above the clinical threshold for PTSD. The predictor tool performed well. There was a significant association, χ (4) = 11.83, p = .019, Cramer's V = 0.229, between mothers predicted at low/some risk for chronic PTSD and scoring below the cut-off score for diagnostic PTSD symptoms at four years. Mothers predicted to be at extreme risk for chronic PTSD reported PTSD symptoms at or above the diagnostic level at 48 months. Children whose mothers had PTSD were at greater risk for Borderline/Clinical range behavioral problems compared to children whose mothers did not have PTSD. Relative risk values ranged from 2.07 (Externalizing) to 2.30 (Internalizing). When appropriate interventions are available, the PTSD predictor tool can assist with triage and guided referral of women at risk for chronic PTSD.
