Domestic Violence and Spousal and Partner Abuse Assignment| Get Paper Help

Examine the following clinical vignettes: Your client is a 30-year-old female of Jewish descent who attends therapy on her own. She is self-referred. During the first session, she explains that she is coming to therapy to decide how she should move in regards to her marital relationship. She explains that she was married for 5 years and has a 3-year-old daughter. Her husband was very affectionate before the marriage, but became very absent since they got married and had a child. He is often at work, comes home late, and spends most of his time at home watching TV. They have not had a sexual relationship since their daughter was born. When she mentioned the topic of divorce, the husband informed her that if she divorced him, her family would find her dead body the next day in the lake by their house. Your client is a 30-year-old female of African-American descent who attends therapy on her own. She is court-mandated to attend therapy based on a domestic violence incident where her 7-year-old daughter was accidentally injured by a flying object that her partner threw at the client in a moment of a fight. The child suffered a head injury and started bleeding. The mother then called 911. Child protective services were notified, investigated, and removed the child from the home, and placed her in foster care. As a result, the mother was ordered to attend therapy and develop further insight about the past situation.
