Domestic Violence in Medicine and Psychotherapy

This specialist book provides essential insights for professionals: Domestic violence is not a mental disorder—it is a threatening scenario that entails significant risks for those affected. Psychotherapy, whether for victims or perpetrators, is rarely the first-choice intervention. When used inappropriately or as the primary focus, it can even exacerbate existing dangers. In cases of domestic violence, safety must always take precedence—regardless of whether the work involves supporting victims or counseling perpetrators.

Topics covered include:

• Risk and threat assessment
• Risk management
• Crisis intervention
• Consulting on protective measures across different threat situations
• Professional support for victims
• Counseling of perpetrators
• Collaboration with authorities and support services
• Professional cooperation and networking
