TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Intimate partner violence (IPV) and neurological outcomes: a review for practitioners JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Monahan, Kathleen SP - 807 EP - 825 VL - 28 IS - 7 N2 - Thirty-eight million women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) during the course of their lifetime. Many of these women will experience brain injuries as a result of IPV and may not seek medical attention. Several types of practitioners who work with IPV survivors consistently, e.g., first responders, advocates, and clinicians, may be unfamiliar with brain functioning, screening, assessment, and treatment. This article reviews the dual traumas of IPV and TBI, the impact on neurological processes and symptomatology, and short and long-term outcomes. Recommendations for screening, intervention, interprofessional collaboration, and research are outlined.
