abstract="This paper describes a solution-focused approach for treating domestic violence female survivors and discusses the implications of Roberts' Continuum of Duration and Severity of Women Battering for therapists and researchers working within a solution-focused frame. Building on a strengths perspective, a solution-focused approach holds a person accountable for solutions instead of focusing on problems. The ultimate goal of the therapy is to provide a therapeutic context for domestic violence female survivors to rediscover and reconnect with their own resourcefulness in resisting, avoiding, escaping, and fighting against the abuse, develop a vision of a life free of violence, and empower women to re-experience their personal power in bringing positive changes to their lives.
