Professionals use various intervention strategies in cases of relationship or domestic violence, including:
-
Empowerment strategies - These are aimed at helping individuals recognize their strengths, gain confidence, and make informed decisions about their situations.
-
Cognitive problem-solving therapies - These therapies help individuals develop coping strategies, challenge negative thought patterns, and find constructive solutions to their problems.
The other options, such as compromise, mediation, and journal writing, are generally less effective or appropriate in cases of domestic violence due to the power imbalances and potential for further victimization involved. Mediation, in particular, is often contraindicated in domestic violence situations.
