Though this has been common knowledge for decades\, brain injuries caused by this violence are unacknowledged\, rarely identified\, and almost never immediately treated. The Justice Clearinghouse will define and describe p artner-inflicted brain injury and discuss the complicated and nuanced inte rsection of coercive control and domestic violence dynamics\, the psycholo gical trauma caused by domestic violence\, and the neurological damage cau sed by brain injury. Partner-inflicted brain injury can cause physical\, e motional\, and cognitive consequences that can impact every area of a surv ivor’s life–including their ability to successfully access and participate in your agency’s services.
