Abstract

It is suggested that, in theory and practice, family systems approaches to wife battering contain biases against women. Following a selective review of family systems literature on wife battering, systemic formulations of husband-to-wife violence are critically examined. Possible contraindications of conjoint therapy with battered women and abusive men are discussed.
