Counselors' Perception of and Experiences with Empathy When Treating Male IPV Victims

<p>This book is an evidence-based data analytical research study heavily critiqued and approved by Capella University. Historically intimate partner violence (IPV) is a fundamental global social and public problem (Garland et al. 2019; Pichon et al. 2022). The research problem and implications that the book answered were a lack of information and resources (e.g. public policies) about mental health providers' experiences with empathy when working with male IPV victims' experiences (Di Napoli et al. 2019). The research study was significant because</p><p>it showed the gap in understanding mental health service providers' role in empathy experiences of male IPV victims' mental health problems recommended for future scientific research studies (Hamdani et al. 2021).</p><p>Besides research findings about male victimization remained uncertain. This study's findings showed/revealed the awareness of female perpetration of physical sexual and psychological abuse (Arnocky & Vaillancourt 2014; Park 2021). The socio-cultural stigma seems to reinforce and belittle male IPV victims (Dim 2020; Park 2021). The findings of this study provide a pivotal catalyst that impels policy legislatures and social system advocacy stakeholders to inform various researchers across the globe of the deleterious effects of IPV experiences and their adverse impact on male victims (Balogun et al. 2015; Dim 2020).</p><p></p>
