Annotated Bibliography Domestic Violence and Its Effects...

Annotated Bibliography: Domestic Violence and its effects on Children Groves, B.M. (1999). Mental Health Services for Children Who Witness Domestic Violence. The Future of Children, 9(3), 122-132. This article provides a good introduction for practitioners working with children who witness family violence.

The author stresses the importance of proper identification and assessment of children exposed to domestic violence. There are four goals of intervention described in this article: reducing the child’s sense of isolation, helping children to understand their†¦show more content†¦Signs of repetition include nightmares and flashbacks. The authors then discuss trauma resolution. They make the important point that children’s trauma must be discussed by direct disclosure in order for them to resolve their issues. Simple play therapy, these authors believe, is not adequate to do this. The authors then present a detailed case report of an eight-year old boy, named Jon, who exhibited violent behavior at school. Jon’s fantasy play was described in detail. Most of it involved viewing himself as a superhero, with four snakes that helped him fight bad guys. Jon drew a picture of these snakes that resembled human fingers. When this was pointed out by the therapist, Jon was eventually able to talk about (and therefore process and resolve) the time he witnessed his father choke his mother. This therapeutic process for Jon lasted over 14 months and eventually his violent behavior vanished. The authors conclude with the recommendation that practitioners balance symbolic expression play therapy with direct talking. In this way, children can master the experience of witnessing family violence. Anderson, S.A. amp; Cramer-Benjamin, D.B. (1999).

Like Dr. Spock wrote in his parenting guide, â€Å"The best test of a punishment is whether it accomplishes what you are after without having harmful effects† (Spock Needlman, 2004, p. 427).
