How does religiosity function as a factor of coping in the experience of abuse survivors? Impact of faith on women recovering from domestic violence

这篇论文将解决英国学术文献中关于家庭暴力的一个主要空白。因此，它有很大的潜力影响和宣传组织的政策和为全国这一妇女群体开发资源，以及在地方一级提供牧养和治疗支助。重点将放在为经历过家庭暴力的基督教女性幸存者探索虐待后的康复过程；并能够了解这些妇女如何与基于信仰和世俗的家庭暴力支持组织互动和体验。获得的一些知识可能有助于理解其他非基督教信仰和/或其他类型的人际虐待的女性幸存者的经历。

This thesis will address a major gap in the UK academic literature on domestic abuse. As such, it has significant potential to influence and inform organisational policy and the development of resources for this population of women nationally, as well as pastoral and therapeutic support at the local level. The focus will be on exploring the post-abuse recovery process for Christian women survivor victims who have experienced domestic abuse; and to be able to understand how these women interact with and experience both faith-based and secular domestic abuse support organisations. Some of the learning gained may be helpful in making sense of the experience of women survivors of other, non-Christian faiths and/or other types of interpersonal abuse.
