| dc.description.notes | This comprehensive Issues Paper explores the impact of domestic violence on women's mental health. It discusses the diverse explanations of women's mental illnesses ranging from an innate feminine feature to an ecological model. The forms of violence and mental health are also addressed. Even though it has been found that the instigation of intimate partner violence might vary within developing and developed countries, women around the world share similar mental illnesses. Disorders like depression, suicidality, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and drug and alcohol misuse are common in abused women. The connection between social inequalities, such as poverty, low education, unemployment and immigration, and mental disorders caused by intimate violence, are examined. Similarly, the current theories about the impact of coercion, entrapment, control and humiliation on women's health are analysed. The paper identifies the limitations of current institutional responses and argues for closer collaboration between mental health and community based domestic violence services. It advocates an approach which incorporates understanding about the links between intimate partner abuse and women's mental health issues in the societal, community, institutional and practitioner/woman contexts. | en |
