This study obtained feedback from intimate partner abuse survivors (N = 104) regarding helpful and unhelpful aspects of therapy. The survivors’ narrative accounts and answers to quantitative questions were subjected to quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results suggest that survivors sought therapy to understand themselves and the abuse they endured. Clinicians’ diagnoses of codependency or assertions that survivors chose the relationship weakened the therapeutic alliance and reduced the perceived helpfulness of therapy.

为亲密伴侣遭受虐待的幸存者提供咨询：有效和无效的干预措施

这项研究从亲密伴侣虐待幸存者（N = 104）获得了有关治疗的有益和无效方面的反馈。对幸存者的叙述叙述和对定量问题的答案进行了定量和定性分析。结果表明，幸存者寻求疗法以了解自己和遭受的虐待。临床医生对患者的依存关系或幸存者选择这种关系的断言削弱了治疗联盟，并降低了人们对治疗的认识。
