Abstract
According to Valera and Berenbaum’s 2003 study of 99 women who have a history of intimate partner violence (IPV), 75% have experienced one IPV-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 50% have sustained multiple IPV-related TBIs. This research examined the experiences of women survivors of IPV-related TBI including; identifying characteristics of abuse, disclosure of IPV to professionals, invisible barriers in everyday living and stigma of invisibility of a TBI, and suggestions for new and improved services.
