IJFS - Interdisciplinary Journal of Family Studies

The overall aim is the empowerment of women who have been victims
of gender-based violence in family relationships (Wieser, Testoni, Guglielmin,
Salvestrin et al., 2011). We use a mixed-methodology design comparing
sociodrama groups (N=19) with individual counselling sessions (N=14). The
common questions and methods will be described in detail in other articles of these
proceedings. The Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (Kipper, 2011) was translated
to German and we now face the challenge of validating it and assessing its
applicability for women victims of intimate partner violence.
