PSY 545 5-1 Discussion: Types of Domestic Violence

Read this resource for the purpose of this discussion as well as for the journal activity. Review from page 33 to page 60: Family Violence: Treatment of Perpetrators and Victims.

In combination with your reading this week, research different types of domestic violence. In your initial posts to your peers, discuss your findings and if there were any types of domestic violence that surprised you or that you were not aware of. In researching the types of domestic violence, were there mentions of different types experienced by different groups? In your discussion, mention why there may be differences in types of abuse experienced.

Responses to peers will be attached below later.

In response to your peers, what differences were there between the type of violence you discussed and the type of violence your peer discussed? Discuss the differences and explain your reasoning. What factors lead to the differences, and are these important for a person in the field to recognize?
