HS 442. Assignment 4.6. September Bonds. September 10,2023
In 6-8 paragraphs, what ethical considerations would
you need to consider when working with people who
have been battered?
Watching the videos I seen peoples spouses who were battered and needed
serious help. This individuals have been through very difficult emotional trauma. They need serious help with controlling the emotional chaos that they had went through and were still holding onto. People that have been battered will learn this sense of helplessness and tend to believe that they actually deserve the abuse. They think that there is no way out of the abusive relationship. In many abusive relationships people tend to not report the abuse and even
start making efforts to stay away from their family and friends because they don’t want them to catch onto what’s going on. Some people who are battered are embarrassed by the abuse and think that they don’t have someone to help them. Others feel like they are lost without their abusive partner and even feel that their
abusive partner is right and like they are the only ones that will ever want them. And some battered people have even reported the abuse and the case makes it all
the way to court just for the battered person to go in court and claim that they lied and actually lie to the courts getting their abusive partner out of trouble and then they get back with them. There are quite a few things to take into consideration when working with individuals who have been battered or went through domestic violence. The first thing that is important to take into consideration is to make sure that you are judgement free. Making sure to not judge a client no matter what they say or whatever their reasons were. It is never going to be your place to judge anyone for
anything they are going through in life, but it is going to be your place to help them see that they deserve better. The next thing to take into consideration is to understand they may still have feelings and care for their abusive partner. They may think that they deserve anyone else or that their partner only abused them because they cared about them and wanted them to change for the better. Making sure to have patience with them and show them that patience will not only build trust with them but also show them what caring for someone really looks like. Some battered people have never seen a healthy relationship before or they don’t know what caring for someone really looks like.

Showing them compassion is going to be another important thing to consider when it comes to dealing with a battered person. One day they may feel strong and ready to heal and get this all from behind them. Other days they may feel week and like they need their abusive partner or they can’t make through this. Showing them compassion will help show them that their emotions are normal and allowed, and that you really want to help them. It’ll show them that this process is going to take time and that that is ok. Another thing to take into cons would be their ethical and racial backgrounds. Some people may look at their abuse as ok because of their ethical background and what their culture taught them was ok or not. Taking that into consideration will allow you to be able to maybe open their eyes to other ways of life and allow themselves to be free of generational set backs. But you also have to
be prepared for them to not leave the relationship or ever see that they need to because of their culture. As long as you have patience, compassion, judgement free, and take their cultural background into consideration I feel like helping them will become a natural path in life.
