Abstract

When violence is internalized, it will manifest in various forms. Within the African American community, the African American male perpetrator's abusive behavior is one indicator of the internalized violence. African traditional practices of spirituality are a testament of their conceptualization and understanding of the intersection of mind, body, and spirit. The ways in which intimate partner violence (IPV) and spirituality intersect are critical. This article presents a conceptual framework informed by Intersectionality and Transpersonal theory to examine the intersections of IPV, gender, race, and spirituality for the African American male perpetrator in service delivery. Implications for further research are discussed.
