Abstract

This article addresses women who have experienced intimate partner violence and have suffered multiple health effects. For this case study, quantitative and qualitative methods were adopted to identify the types of physical, mental and spiritual services that abused women can use and to illustrate the experiences of a woman who used these services in Taiwan. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire, and the interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The case study revealed that women can benefit from using an integrated body-mind-spirit approach. However, women who lack an integrated approach can lose the potential to empower themselves.
