Abstract

There is a great deal of research on intimate partner violence, but few studies investigate the role of Evangelical religious and cultural values on intimate partner violence or faith-based prevention and interventions strategies in this community. This study with 8 Evangelical pastors and 11 clinicians contributes to the literature by examining the effect of religious values and social attitudes on intimate partner violence in the Evangelical community and investigating a range of faith-based interventions that may be utilized by mental health providers. The results focus on two themes: religious values and social attitudes and the use of faith-based interventions.
