Abusive Traumatic Bonding (ATB™) and COVID-19
Overview
Live Online Event
Friday, October 23, 2020
9:00am–12:00pm EDT
NYSED and ASWB Approved for 3 CE contact hours
Abusive Traumatic Bonding (ATB™) is a phenomenon present in many, if not all, cases of Intimate Partner Violence. It is closely related to the cycle of violence. ATB™ usually begins after the climax stage in the cycle of violence and is solidified during the honeymoon period. As the cycle of violence progresses, the bond becomes stronger and stronger, until it is almost impossible for the victim to leave.
Evidence of Need: COVID-19 has impacted Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) to a great extent. An examination of the relationship between Abusive Traumatic Bonding™ and COVID-19 can elucidate our understanding of IPV. The number of calls for help for Intimate Partner Violence has increased.

- Increase their general knowledge of intimate partner violence
