Abusive Traumatic Bonding (ATB™) in Intimate Partner Violence
Overview
Live Online Training
Wednesday, December 8, 2021
10:00am–2:00pm ET
NYSED and ASWB Approved for 4 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 second and second (and ongoing) honeymoon period(s). 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. More than ever, clinicians need to be aware of the increasing need for skilled interventions to address ATB™.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Increase their general knowledge of intimate partner violence
- Identify aspects of ATB™ in a clinical setting and how it works
- Be aware of the clinical applications of ATB™ for social work and mental health counseling practice
- Understand how the implications of race, gender, culture/ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of ability, and socio-economic status play in ATB™
- Gain knowledge about the cycle of violence and its relationship to ATB™
- Apply lessons learned and case materials to their own clinical practice
- Create treatment programs that are sensitive to and helpful to victims of ATB™
- Teach others about these essential principles
- Increase awareness of how their countertransferential responses impact the therapeutic relationship and treatment outcomes and have a “toolbox” at hand to cope with these feelings.
