Abstract:

This webinar on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) will cover foundational concepts, including IPV (a) definitions of physical, psychological, and sexual forms, (b) evidence-based criteria that undergirds the DSM-5, ICD-11, and DoD approaches, (c) prevalence, (d) typologies, and (e) risk factors, and (f) theories. Next, we will cover evidence-based screening for IPV and multi-modal assessment strategies. Finally, we will offer guidance on safety planning and individual- and couple-based evidence-based treatments.

Presenter Biography:

Richard E. Heyman is a professor at New York University, where he co-directs the Family Translational Research Group. Dr. Heyman earned a B.S. from Duke University and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Oregon. He has published over 250 scientific articles/chapters and received over 75 grants/contracts from major U.S. funding agencies on all stages of the translational research cycle, from etiology and risk factors for family dysfunction to efficacy, effectiveness, and dissemination trials. Dr. Heyman is a licensed psychologist.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, the learner will be able to:

1. Participants will be able to define intimate partner violence (IPV) in its various forms, including physical, emotional, sexual abuse, and neglect.

2. Identify the “harm criterion” that distinguishes clinically significant IPV from aggressive acts and the role the harm criterion plays in evidence-based criteria for IPV.

3. Describe and distinguish between clinically impactful typologies of IPV by Johnson (e.g., “Intimate Terrorism,” “Situational Couple Violence”) and Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart (e.g., Family-Only, Borderline/Dysphoric, Generally Violent/Antisocial).

4. Compare the IPV prevalence and risk in general-population and couple-therapy samples

5. Discuss the mental, physical, and familial impacts of IPV, including effects on children and overall family health.

6. Identify evidence-based interventions gender-specific and couple-based treatments (and those that are not supported by evidence.)
