Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the outcomes of a group psychosocial intervention on women who had been victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). The sample was composed of 141 women from 19 centres in Spain. The evaluation of the outcomes includes: self-esteem, irrational beliefs, assertiveness, problem coping; gender ideology; evaluation of behavioural changes; and subjective well-being within three months of the completion of the intervention. The validity of the instruments used was tested. Significant changes were observed in all variables immediately after the intervention and three months after completion of the intervention. The discussion focuses on the impact of the variables affected by IPV, the potential for change in these variables, and treatment modality.
