Coercive Control: Policy and Practice in Custody Evaluations
Given its chronic nature, understanding the impact of coercive control requires a complex trauma lens. Complex trauma is the exposure to multiple or prolonged interpersonal stressors, which leads to adverse psychological and behavioral changes and vulnerability to future traumatic events. The distress may occur throughout the lifespan, resulting in psychological, emotional, and relationship difficulties. Participants will learn to identify coercive control and its impact on children and families and to assess coercive control in custody matters. Participants will also discuss the essential parameters and collaborate on a proposed model statute.
