N2  - This article presents findings from research on the Caribbean island of Trinidad with male and female social workers, exploring their views of intimate partner  violence against women. The premise here is that actions of helping professionals,  including social workers, are partly founded on their views of social problems and  clients. Three themes emerged from the conversations as contributing to violence  against women: the attitudes and behaviors of victims; societal norms and attitudes;  and weak interagency collaboration. A sense of futility in intervention was apparent  in the conversations. There are implications for strengthening professional  self-efficacy, attitude to clients, and networking.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
