“…Qualitative methods were used in one study (Vergara, Comas, Gautam, & Koirala, 2015). In this study, mothers who received a group intervention that focused on parental competence, resilience, and positive interactions with children reported positive changes at postintervention including improved communication and being more caring and affectionate toward children (Vergara et al, 2015).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is widespread among women with children and has negative consequences for both women's and children's well-being. Despite mixed evidence regarding the effect of IPV on women's parenting ability and behaviors, there is an increasing focus on mothering in the context of IPV, particularly among the child welfare and child protection systems. To help respond to this increasing focus, several interventions have been developed that specifically target parenting among IPV-affected women. Given the growing numbers of these interventions, a comprehensive review is needed to help elucidate the approaches that are most effective in meeting the needs of IPV-affected women and children. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth systematic review of the literature to examine the approaches and effects of interventions designed to address aspects of parenting among IPV-affected women. We identified 26 articles concerned with 19 distinct interventions for review. We found substantial heterogeneity in intervention delivery, format, length, and focus. We noted several limitations of the existing studies in terms of study sample, measures, design, and implementation. Given the heterogeneity of the existing interventions and the limitations of the current research base, it is not yet clear which interventions or intervention components are most effective in addressing the unique needs of women parenting in the context of IPV. Further research is needed to address these limitations, and professionals working with IPV-affected families should be aware that current services may not meet women's and children's needs.

“…There is a growing body of international research into how DV affects relationships between female victims/survivors and their children. This includes studies from Australia, Canada, China, Israel, Nepal, the United Kingdom, and the United States (Buchanan, 2018;Chanmugam, 2014;Goldblatt, Buchbinder, & Cohen, 2014;Humphreys et al, 2006;Katz, 2015;Kong & Hooper, 2018;Lapierre, 2010aLapierre, , 2010bLapierre et al, 2018;McManus et al, 2013;Vergara, Comas, Gautam, & Koirala, 2015). Perpetrators'/fathers' undermining of mother-child relationships has been identified as a major cause of harm to motherchild relationships (Bancroft et al, 2012;Humphreys et al, 2006;Lapierre, 2010b;Radford & Hester, 2006).…”

Some mother–child relationships become more strained and distant than others in domestic violence contexts, but the processes influencing this are little understood. Qualitative interviews with 15 mothers and 15 children were held to explore their experiences. Findings suggested that five interlinked factors influenced levels of closeness, distance, and strain in mother–child relationships: (1) perpetrator’s/father’s behavior toward children, (2) perpetrator’s/father’s use of domestic violence, (3) perpetrator’s/father’s undermining of mother–child relationship, (4) mother’s ability to emotionally connect to children, and (5) children’s views of mother and perpetrator/father. These findings have global significance for services and practitioners who work with domestic violence–experienced mothers and children and may help to tailor responses more effectively to mothers’ and children’s needs.
