f disscussion board regarding power and control related to intimate partner violence

by

While Chapter 8 is focused on Introduction to Intimate Partner Violence including theory-based perspectives, Chapter 9 focuses on the Dynamics of IPV and explores power differentials in relationships. Take a closer look at Figure 9.1 Power and Control Wheel (p. 181 of your textbook) and Figure 9.2 The Equality Wheel (p. 182). As the book states, these contrasting figures allow us the opportunity to examine strategies for how perpetrators gain control over their victims (McClennen, Keys, & Dugan-Day, 2017).

For your Discussion Board, regarding power and control, answer the following areas:

  1. What TWO aspects of the Power and Control Wheel reach out to you in terms of how a perpetrator gains control?
  2. Compare/Contrast the corresponding aspects of the Equality Wheel.
  3. As the practitioner, how could you apply the Power and Control Wheel and the Equality Wheel as a knowledge base tool in your interactions/interventions/treatment with your client?

Required APA Discussion Format (to be done for every discussion board unless stated otherwise):

1. You must include in-text APA citations IN your discussion (these are called in-text citations, see syllabus for examples).

2. At the bottom of your discussion, you will space down twice and type REFERENCES. Underneath the phrase REFERENCES, you will list no less than two references (one should be your textbook and the other should be a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article) that match the in-text citations IN your initial discussion post. Make sure references and citations you are using in this discussion are honest, accurate descriptions of information you are actually using for source information.

4. You are required to use academic language as well as proper spelling and complete sentence structure.
