Abstract

This article reviews the history of scholarship on interpersonal violence as it pertains to the United States, ending with the reaction to the Women's Liberation Movement. Understanding this history helps us critically appraise current definitions, conceptualizations, and interventions for interpersonal trauma that we teach our future mental health professionals. History shows that much of women's experience was left out of current definitions of trauma response; therefore, it is important to look at alternative conceptualizations and intervention models. One place to look for these alternative perspectives is in the feminist movement, which helped give voice again to women's experiences of violence.
