Participants completed the Perceived Childhood Abuse Scale, Perceptive Experience of Parental Marital Violence Scale, Problem Resolution Index, Living up to Parental Expectation Scale, Reciprocal Filial Piety Scale, Helping Profession Burnout Inventory, Working Alliance Inventory- Short Form, and Empathy Scale. The data was analyzed with hierarchical regression analysis. The results suggest that (1) therapists' early domestic violence experience cannot predict their effectiveness working with domestic violence clients. (2) therapists' working-through of domestic trauma and their effectiveness working with domestic violence clients have positive relations. (3) the interaction of therapists' early domestic violence experience and trauma working-through affect their effectiveness: (a) For those who have fewer early domestic violence experience, when facing domestic violence clients, the more they value the reciprocal filial piety, the higher their burnout score were. (b) For those who have more early domestic violence experience, when facing domestic violence clients, the more they value the reciprocal filial piety, the higher they rated their own empathy level as well. Based on these findings, suggestions for further research as well as implementation are discussed.
