Little is known about the extent of violence experienced, its severity, or history of childhood abuse or exposure to intergenerational family violence in women with mental illness. Methods: One hundred women seeking in-patients (IP) or out-patients (OP) services at a tertiary care psychiatric setting were recruited using consecutive sampling. IPV Questionnaire and Danger Assessment Questionnaire were administered. Results: The data revealed a moderate level of IPV experienced by the women. In their childhood, more than one-third had undergone physical abuse by their fathers and witnessed violence by fathers toward mothers. Conclusion: Screening for intimate violence is essential in women attending mental health settings.Mysore Narasimha VrandaChannaveerachari Naveen KumarDalibonia MuralidharNavaneetham JanardhanaPalanimuthu Thangaraju SivakumarSAGE PublishingarticlePsychiatryRC435-571ENIndian Journal of Psychological Medicine, Vol 43 (2021)
