Ultra-Orthodox Jewish individuals experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) increasingly prefer professional intervention, challenging traditional shame and secrecy. This shift impacts community dynamics and support-seeking behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Sociology of the family
- Public health
- Jewish studies
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) presents unique challenges within insular communities.
- The ultra-Orthodox Jewish community has specific socio-cultural norms influencing help-seeking behaviors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine attitudes toward professional intervention for IPV within the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
- To understand the intersection of social and personal factors in constructing IPV experiences.
Main Methods:
- Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 38 participants from three generations within the ultra-Orthodox community.
- Participants were individuals coping with intimate partner violence.
Main Results:
- Three themes emerged: preference for professional help, a potential shift away from shame, and viewing intervention as a reference point.
- Findings highlight the complex interplay between community norms and professional support.
Conclusions:
- Professional intervention is becoming a more accepted option for IPV in the ultra-Orthodox community.
- Attitudes toward IPV and its resolution are evolving, influenced by both individual experiences and community context.
