Intimate Partner Violence
摘要
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) requires a structured approach involving immediate and long-term support. During disclosure, clinicians must ensure privacy, validate the victim, and emphasize perpetrator accountability. Detailed documentation is essential. Immediate management includes providing information, coordinating referrals, and connecting victims to services such as emergency care, psychiatry, social services, legal aid, police, and NGOs. Long-term care involves safety planning, counseling for psychological effects (e.g., PTSD, anxiety), and regular follow-up—via home visits for high-risk cases and phone calls for low-risk ones. Support should be provided regardless of whether the victim reports the abuse or follows through with referrals.
