CHAPTER01: INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The term “domestic violence” implies an act of violence between adult intimate partners. The term has been defined more thoroughly from one clinical source as “a pattern of assaultive and coercive behavior, including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion, that adults and adolescents use against their intimate partners”. Domestic violence is perhaps best characterized as a continuum of behavior ranging from physical, sexual, and psychological abuse to economic (i.e., withholding money and resources) and social abuse (i.e., isolation and control of relationships). Domestic violence permeates all areas of the population, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, religion, race, nationality, or educational background. The effects of domestic violence are detrimental, not only for the survivors, but for their children, as well as the community (Follingstad, Wright and Sebastian, 1991, pp. 51).
