Description
Presenter: Dr. Katherine Iverson
Overview.
This presentation is based on my 20 years of clinical and research experience focusing on intimate partner violence (IPV) detection and treatment, my extensive knowledge of the IPV literature, and a recent clinical article I co-authored (Doyle, Knetig, & Iverson, 2022). I received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for the impact of my research on IPV practice and policy within the Department of Veterans Affairs. I have over 100 peer-reviewed publications on IPV and related topics (e.g., trauma and PTSD) and I have served as PI or Co-I on several federally-funded grants focusing on IPV screening and/or treatment.
Objectives.
-
- List at least three types of intimate partner violence (IPV) and impacts on individuals’ psychosocial health
- Describe the rationale for integrating trauma-informed care principles in mental health treatment with women who experience IPV
- Identify at least three topics that are potential focus areas for individuals who experience IPV
