The aim of any clinical intervention is to help affected victims, but also to stop the violence and to help offenders to find other coping strategies. The clinical needs for stalking and domestic violence are primarily defined by the fact that the goal of the clinical work is always directed towards the clients. Clinical interventions should help contribute to stopping any form of violence, as well as help prevent violent outbursts and minimize any collateral effect of the violence experienced on health conditions and quality of life. Within stalking and domestic violence, the dynamic between offender and victim illustrates how attitudes about acceptable behavior contribute to the escalation in violent acts towards others. Any clinical assessment is always based on past experiences and predicts further developments. A clinical assessment always goes hand in hand with case management. The information management process is also crucial and requires ongoing contact. It is also important to remember how the risk assessment is a process, not a single event, which integrates new developments. Lastly, interpersonal violence is characterized by a range of different behavior patterns. Figures, note, and references
