Intimate partner violence is widespread and prevalent, with the WHO identifying it as a global health problem of epidemic proportions affecting high-income countries and low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) at prevalences ranging from 27·9% to 45·6%
The authors focus on psychological treatment studies in LMICs where emerging evidence supports brief interventions for common mental disorders (CMDs).[3]
