Gender-Based Violence: Towards an understanding of causes & prevention
Australia · CPD points & talks · Psychologists
This thought-provoking CPD presentation explores the psychological underpinnings of gender-based violence (GBV), with a specific focus on understanding the individual perpetrator within a broader systemic context. While GBV can be analysed at cultural, structural, and community levels, this talk highlights the unique contribution psychology can make to understanding and addressing the problem.
Through a trauma-informed and evidence-based lens, the presentation considers how individual psychological factors - such as attachment history, emotion regulation difficulties, personality dynamics, and learned behaviours - interact with societal influences to produce violent outcomes. By deepening this understanding, clinicians and practitioners will be better positioned to support effective prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation efforts.
This session is highly relevant for psychologists working in clinical, forensic, policy, or community settings who wish to contribute meaningfully to addressing GBV through evidence-informed practice.
