Abstract
Interventions with victims of partner violence can become stymied until the clinician recognizes and accepts client vacillations

once the client returns home. Treatment strategies that focus on emotional regulation and splitting can help strengthen client
awareness of contradicting beliefs, thereby strengthening self-efficacy and problem-solving.
