Violence Against Women April 14, 2006 Kathleen E. Kane
For female survivors of intimate partner violence, learning concentrative meditation can lead to a centered awareness distinctly different from their usual mode of being in the world. Six women meditated daily and attended a weekly group for six weeks. Interviews revealed this shift in awareness, suggesting meditation may be a valuable intervention for survivors and indicating the need for more research.
