3 FEATURED SPEAKER General Session 9:30 am 12:00 pm Domestic Violence: Is Love Part of the Relationship? Understanding the dynamics of domestic violence relationships requires suspending logic and learning from the abuse victim/survivors themselves. The question always asked is why doesn t she leave? This workshop will help find the counter-intuitive answers including the power and control the batterer uses to isolate and hold her so she develops Battered Woman Syndrome. 1. Answer 3 reasons why battered women do not leave the relationship. 2. Know the seven factors that are part of Battered Woman Syndrome. 3. Assess the cycle of violence in their cases of reported domestic violence. 4. Identify power and control methods used by batterers. 5. Apply three therapy techniques to assist battered women in healing. 6. Prepare for forensic involvement in domestic violence cases Afternoon Session 1:30 pm-4:00pm Survivor Therapy Empowerment Program (STEP) Trauma survivors need more than psychotherapy in order to heal from the abuse they have experienced. Although STEP, a 12-unit manualized treatment program, was originally developed to help battered women heal from intimate partner violence, we have found it to lower anxiety and PTSD symptoms in other trauma survivors also. We will explore the 12 units and learn how to adapt them to your clients as each unit can be used independent of the others when appropriate. 1. Utilize the theoretical underpinnings for the STEP treatment program. 2. Adapt the units to fit clients in their own practices. 3. Develop techniques to assist clients in rebuilding resilience.
