V.1. Thesis - Cruelty to animals and psychosocial adjustment among Chinese children -- v.2. Professional portfolio - The impact of intimate partner violence on women's health and well-being |
| Summary |
Childhood cruelty to animals is associated with interpersonal violence in later life. The study for this thesis investigated risk factors for childhood cruelty to animals in China. For both boys and girls externalising problems, poor communication within families, and harsh parental discipline predicted animal cruelty, providing targets for intervention to prevent later violence. The portfolio presents four clinical case studies which demonstrate the complex and varied impact that intimate partner violence has on women, and the importance of psychological intervention in assisting women to manage their physical and mental health and well-being |
