“…Women produce negative thoughts directed towards themselves and others and feel helpless and inferior. They cannot cope with stressful events (Jonker et al, 2019). Learned helplessness is one of the most common and complex problems among abused women.…”

Violence against women constitutes a violation of human rights and is one of the most important issues that affect the family, its cohesion and the safety of its members. Most of the studies, conducted on abused women, have indicated that there is a correlation between violence and its effects. This study aimed to identify the level of depression among abused women in Jordan. The sample of the study was deliberately chosen and it included 100 women who were between the ages of 18 and 50 years. To achieve the objectives of the study, Beck’s list of depression was used. To ensure the validity of the results, semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results indicated a high level of depression in the study sample of abused women. There were no differences in all dimensions in the depression of abused women following age, social situation and educational level variables. Keywords: Abused, depression, feelings, violence, women.

“…Severe mental illness, PTSD as well as common mental disorders can be outcomes of IPV and, at the same time, risk factors for intimate partner victimisation. 24–26,72 Moreover, anger, hostility and mental health problems may increase both the risk of violent behaviours among offenders and the risk of victimisation of women. 73–75…”

Violence against women in heterosexual couples: A review of psychological and medico-legal considerations

et al. 2021

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is the most pervasive violation of women’s rights worldwide, causing devastating lifelong damage. Victims can suffer physical, emotional or mental health problems, and experience detrimental effects in social, psychological and relational health with their families, especially children. Due to the complexity regarding violence against women in heterosexual couples, it is important to make a clear distinction between psychological and physical mistreatment, which also includes psychological violence. This differentiation is important in determining different emotional and psychological aspects of mistreatment in order to understand the reasons why some women stay in such relationships and to explain the personality profiles of victims and perpetrators. In this short narrative review, we have combined perspectives of depth psychology and attachment theory from studies on trauma, traumatic bonds and the perpetrator/victim complex in gender violence. We have also considered the growing literature on IPVAW as it relates to the medico-legal field. Our search strategy included intimate partner violence, attachment styles, risk factors and the victim/perpetrator relationship. Distinguishing the different types of IPVAW is a necessary step in understanding the complexity, causes, correlations and consequences of this issue. Above all, it enables the implementation of effective prevention and intervention strategies.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in three women worldwide will experience physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner, or sexual violence by a nonpartner, during their lives (García‐Moreno et al, 2013). Violence against women is a pervasive social problem, and women who use refuges, shelters and crisis centers are more likely to have experienced severe, ongoing and multiple forms of violence when compared to the general population, with 40–84% of these women showing clinical levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (Jonker et al, 2019). Thus, a sense of powerlessness is common to women who use shelters.…”

Open Dialogue is a family/social network‐centered psychotherapeutic approach to responding to people in crisis and distress. In 2017, Open Dialogue network meetings were implemented in an Australian inner‐city shelter for disadvantaged women. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of participating in these meetings from the perspective of service users and Open Dialogue practitioners. Qualitative interviews were completed with thirteen participants (six service users and seven practitioners) and analyzed thematically. The findings suggested that dialogical processes created safety by attending to multiple voices in nonviolent ways that reduced perceived hierarchies. Notions of expertise were renegotiated, which allowed the women to feel heard in significant ways that were different from their previous experiences with other social and healthcare services. Open Dialogue is an approach that can meaningfully attend to some of the power relations within which women live and within which social and health care services are provided.
