Abstract

Family violence is typically progressive. As a man realizes the effectiveness of physical and emotional coercion, he tends to use it more frequently. In the face of imbalance of power in the relationship, a victim becomes more fearful, more submissive, and more likely to face serious injury. This is the first of a two-part series on physicians helping patients cope with domestic violence.
