- Abstract
Each year millions of American women arc physically, psychologically and/or sexually abused by the men with whom they share intimate relationships. Spouse abuse is one of the leading causes of injury to adult women. The victims of spouse abuse are not only women but their children who witness the abuse and are often directly abused as well. The economic and human costs to society are staggering. Thus, the problem is now being addressed by a host of professionals and scientists including, but not limited to, psychologists, social workers, sociologists, lawyers, and legal scholars.
