Picking up the pieces: psychological therapies for women who experience intimate partner violence
Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is highly prevalent worldwide.
Women are disproportionately more likely than men to experience IPV towards them at any point in their lifetime.
Psychological therapies could be offered to women who experience IPV as part of the treatment of subsequent mental health problems.
This Cochrane review assesses how beneficial or potentially harmful psychological therapies can be for women who receive them compared with standard care alone.
The review also attempts to contextualise the results in clinical practice.
