English term or phrase: Understanding the Process
This doesn't really have to do with law, but I couldn't figure out what category it would go into.
I am translating a pamphlet that outlines how the Protection from Abuse process works in a Family Court in the United States.

The title of the pamphlet is: "Understanding the Protection from Abuse process." I had thought to just say "Explicación del proceso..." or "Reseña del proceso," but I would like to get another opinion.

There is no more context. It is a title.

Thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: This translation doesn't really work well, although it is grammatically correct. In English we tend to use expressions with a gerund: "Understanding the process" "Working with interpreters" "Finding new solutions" The problem is that they are a kind of shorthand and although the concept may be obvious to an English-speaker, the lack of context makes it impossible to merely translate the words When we say "Understanding the process," what we really mean is that this document is a description of a process explained in such a way that the reader will understand it. The phrase doesn't really have to do with someone "understanding" the process at all, although this is the ultimate goal of the pamphlet. The phrase is not descriptive of what the pamphlet actually is. If you were to pick up such a pamphlet in your own country, would you understand what it was about? By the title, it seems to be about understanding some process. That's not what the pamphlet is about at all.
