Abstract

The focus of this paper is secondary mental trauma after physical violence. A specific emphasis was the given on the recovery process from the secondary mental trauma, which is rather more serious than the primary physical trauma. It was clarified that the traditional sense of the value of the family is still dominant, specifically in the perception of a safe and peaceful family. It was believed that the メ family モ should be protected even at the sacrifice of the physical and mental health of women, who are often left unattended compared with abused children. These results suggest that intersectional calibration of skill/knowledge on DV issues is an urgent necessity for the betterment of the intervention mechanism of social services to DV victims.
