Understanding the Impact of Trauma, Violence and Abuse - An Exploration of the Experience of Exposure to Violence.

Pickering, Siobán Mary

Abstract

This portfolio thesis comprises of three parts: Part One: Systematic Literature Review Part one contains a systematic review which explores the use of Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) with adult survivors of violence, trauma, and abuse (VTA). A systematic search of five databases revealed 11 suitable papers, the findings of which are presented using narrative synthesis. Part Two: Empirical Paper Part two is a qualitative empirical study, which explored women’s experiences of being exposed to gender-based violence (GBV) in the media (i.e. the news and social media etc.). A reflexive thematic analysis revealed a total of three themes. Conclusions, implications and recommendations for future research were considered. Part Three: Appendices Part three contains the appendices for the previous two parts and also includes a reflective and epistemological statement.
