Developing a Conceptual Framework for Understanding the Intersection of Anger, Domestic Violence, and Learning Disabilities: Implications for Counselling

Abstract

This paper examines the complex relationship between anger, domestic violence, and learning disabilities, highlighting the need for trauma-informed care. A comprehensive review of existing literature reveals that individuals with learning disabilities are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, exacerbating anger and emotional regulation difficulties. The paper underscores the importance of addressing underlying factors, such as stigma, marginalization, and lack of access to resources. This  discourse contributes to the growing body of research advocating for inclusive, supportive, and trauma-informed services. Recommendations for policy, practice, and future research are provided, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and specialized training.
