Abstract

At its most basic level, intimate partner violence (IPV) involves the exertion of power and control by one person over another. IPV is pervasive in our society and no culture, ethnicity, or race should be considered immune. As practitioners, it is important to recognize the magnitude of the problem, to understand the complex social dynamics involved in these violent relationships, and most importantly, to appreciate the profound and long-lasting effects IPV can have on a person’s physical, emotional, and behavioral health.
