1. Call for Therapists – Research Study
Q. In cases of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), how do mental health practitioners address perpetrator behaviour in India?
Data from a UN Women report highlights that globally, at least 30 out of every 100 women are subjected to physical and/or sexual violence, with 26 of these cases involving an intimate partner as the perpetrator. Mandated counselling or behavioural therapy is often seen as a potential solution for reforming IPV perpetrators.
In India, the lack of mechanisms for rehabilitation and the legal status of marital rape exacerbate the problem. As a result, trauma-informed and research-backed interventions for IPV are notably absent in the country.
At TCR, we are committed to addressing this critical gap. We are conducting a pan-India study on the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions for reforming IPV perpetrators. The findings of this study will be used to design first-of-its-kind interventions and training for therapists, ensuring your expertise plays a crucial role in transforming the way IPV is addressed in India.
Who can participate?
- Therapists currently practising in India
- Therapists who have worked with perpetrators of intimate partner violence and/or couples therapists who worked with couples where IPV is present
