| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this counselling psychology research project was to understand the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) among 2SLGBTQI+ victim-survivors. A thematic analysis approach was used to synthesize relevant qualitative research and produce recommendations for practitioners and researchers to more effectively work with this vulnerable population. Qualitative studies over the last five years were identified using the City University of Seattle library and Google Scholar and a thematic analysis of the literature was then conducted to generate significant themes, while the methodology and ethical competencies of the studies were also critiqued. The thematic findings of the literature review identified the types of abuse 2SLGBTQI+ victim-survivors experience, particularly identity abuse, the consequences of this abuse on their physical and mental well-being, and the strategies this population uses to cope with their pain, particularly distraction. The themes also highlighted the sources of external support this group accesses and their experiences of stigma, discrimination, minority stress, and isolation while attempting to navigate these support systems. Recommendations for practitioners and researchers were made, including increased education on 2SLGBTQI+ experiences and better implementation of affirming care when working with these individuals. | |
