GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION This is an Intermediate course exploring the impacts of Situational, or Common, Couple Violence in relationships. Situational Couple Violence is the state-of-the-art term which describes the mild to moderate mutual violence that may exist in some relationships and can be compared to Intimate Terrorism, by which one partner denigrates, demeans, and diminishes the other partner through severe and repetitive violence. The course is comprised of five (5) articles and begins with a short, reflective editorial questioning the impacts of Common Couple Violence on the ability of couples to resolve and remediate their relationships. More specifically, the author poses concerns about whether such violence may impair the potential benefits of make-up sex, and diminish the positive impacts of the afterglow. The next three articles review the statistics and broad-ranging impacts of situational couple violence on women. The final submission, a chapter in Patricia Evans' book The Verbally Abusive Relationship, provides not only insight into the impact of this form of violence on dyads, but also offers strategies which enable couples to repair and revise their relationships.
