    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Psychology
    • Family Therapy
    • Social Work

    Background:

    • Limited training exists for clinicians addressing family violence.
    • Lack of understanding and coping strategies hinders effective intervention.
    • Intrafamilial violence requires specialized intervention approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a five-stage intervention model for intrafamilial violence.
    • To provide clinicians with a structured approach to managing cases of family violence.
    • To outline strategies for crisis management, assessment, and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • The study describes a sequential, five-stage intervention process.
    • Stages include: crisis management, initial assessment/contract, full evaluation, brief treatment, and long-term treatment.
    • Acknowledges potential for client regression to earlier stages.

    Main Results:

    • Most clients experience symptom remission after brief treatment.
    • A significant number of clients discontinue treatment after initial symptom relief.
    • Long-term treatment is pursued by a smaller proportion of clients.

    Conclusions:

    • The described five-stage model offers a framework for clinicians.
    • Addressing client dropout after brief treatment is crucial for sustained recovery.
    • Further research into long-term treatment efficacy for intrafamilial violence is warranted.
