Abstract

Therapists working with domestic violence are trained in many different theoretical models, each based on different values and assumptions. Each model raises different ethical dilemmas. In this paper, five theoretical approaches are evaluated in relation to the ethical principals of: respect for clients' autonomy: beneficence: non-maleficence: and justice. The inverse relationship between respect for autonomy and beneficence and non-maleficence is discussed. The hierarchical asymmetry involved in the therapeutic relationship is also explored.
