Psychological Advocacy Towards Healing (PATH): A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Psychological Intervention in a Domestic Violence Service Setting

About the Course

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a common violation of human rights that damages physical and mental health. DVA can be physical, sexual, psychological and economic, perpetrated by a partner, ex-partner or adult family member. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a type of DVA. Although DVA is experienced by women and men, the majority of severe, repeated and sexual assaults are on women. This article looks at how PATH impacts DV outcomes

This course is based on the article, Psychological advocacy towards healing (PATH): A randomized controlled trial of a psychological intervention in a domestic violence service setting created by Giulia Ferrari, et al. in 2018.
