AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT:
With an epidemic of domestic violence in this society, we know much about the immediate consequences. However, the long term effects of domestic violence against women have not been previously documented. This thesis explores the long term emotional consequences after domestic violence crisis intervention. Nine women participated in this eight month study. Weekly interviews about their current emotional experiences were conducted. The data collected represent four phases of recovery with time periods from six months to five years after domestic crisis intervention. The data yielded a clear understanding of the progression and transitions that women proceed through during recovery, which resulted in the development of a process model. Although this study was limited by size, and representative of only women who have sought crisis intervention, it did reveal a baseline of exploratory information that describes and defines long term emotional consequences after domestic violence crisis intervention.
