Abstract
This study is aimed at exploring the literature regarding the incidence, nature, and impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women's health. I will explore the incidence, nature, and impact of IPV (IPV and violence against women (VAW) are used in this thesis as interchangeable) on women in countries around the world. I focus on IPV against women in general and on IPV against immigrant women in particular. Based on findings, I draw recommendations for clinicians working with (immigrant) women who are experiencing domestic violence and are victimized by IPV.
