| dc.description.notes | Evaluation of batterer intervention programmes in four US cities, which showed low service contact and use by the women partners of men in court referred perpetrator programmes. In an effort to interpret the women’s relatively low service contact, women were asked about the reasons for lack of help seeking. The majority of women did not feel that they needed services or formal assistance; a substantial proportion indicated that they turned to family, friends or church members for help and that these contacts were sufficient. Furthermore the abuse seemed to have lessened in most cases. The women who felt the need for more assistance were deterred as much because of their negative views of battered women’s programmes as they were because of barriers to service access. The implications for practice in these findings pose the questions: is the large percentage of women who profess no need for services the reflection of denial, minimisation of need because of the effects of severe and extended battering, or the survival of women who are drawing on their own supports and personal resources? There is concern about the extent of intervention and services being pushed towards battered women being experienced as imposing and paternalistic. | en |
