INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AND THE USE OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES
Abstract:
This study was developed in the U.S.A. – California and represented an investigation based on the population exposed to the intimate partner violence and the use of the social services. It also explained the effects of other types of violence at adult age, as well as the post- traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). These data indicated that the acute exposure to the intimate partner violence was significant among the women under social aid. Although, it seemed that it was about the cumulative experience of the women exposed to the interpersonal violence and other PTSD associated symptoms. These data emphasized the acceptance level of violence against women and its consequences for this segment of population. The results of the study suggest that preventing and identifying violence represent a major social problem and requires more ample research.
