The SVP policies and procedures were designed not only to prevent physical assault and abduction but also to intervene in vicarious battering—a term introduced to describe the attempts by men who battered to exert control over, undermine, and/or intimidate the mothers of their children via interactions with their children and the visitation staff. The results of this research demonstrated the challenges of intervening in the context of court-ordered supervised visitation. Data for this study were collected via semi-structured interviews with ten individuals who worked at the SVP for over a year and participated in regularly scheduled case consult meetings. The phenomenological methods of reduction and imaginative variation were used to analyze participant interviews and answer the question: How did the staff of a specialized supervised visitation and exchange program experience the assigned task of increasing safety for survivors of intimate partner violence and their children while decreasing opportunities for further battering? Data analysis revealed three important elements of the task: Being grounded in the mission of increasing safety and decreasing opportunities to batter, knowing they were safe and supported, and feeling connected to the work of addressing domestic violence. 2017-02-27 English text Antioch University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=antioch1484875289581209 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=antioch1484875289581209 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
