Abstract
Chaplains in the military attend to the spiritual and emotional needs of military personnel, their families, and civilians. As chaplains encounter intimate partner violence (IPV) they are faced with ethical dilemmas. For example, unlike most professionals, chaplains do not have a duty to report violence, which affects decisions about safety. This article reviews three key areas of ethical dilemmas related to IPV: (a) the ethics of confidentiality, (b) the ethics of cultural competence, and (c) the ethics of intervention. Two case studies are presented to help chaplains and therapists who work with them assist those experiencing violence.
