Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Risk Factors in Women and Intervention Strategies for Therapists

Women face a heightened risk of sexual assault, often perpetrated by individuals they know rather than strangers. Research indicates that perpetrators typically follow a discernible grooming process, and studies have identified key factors that may increase a woman's vulnerability to such victimization. Additionally, research outlines distinct personality traits common among perpetrators.

Despite the wealth of information available on this subject, it has not yet significantly impacted the practices of many mental health professionals. By deepening their understanding of sexual grooming and its indicators, therapists can enhance their ability to recognize warning signs in their clients, conduct thorough risk assessments, and engage in safety planning to mitigate risks. This knowledge is crucial for fostering a safer therapeutic environment and supporting at-risk individuals with greater efficacy.
