abstract="TOPIC: The way in which women's need for connection can lead to destructive relationships in which emotional and physical paralysis is characteristic. PURPOSE: To demonstrate how a woman's sense of disconnection that occurs in abusive relationships may be misinterpreted or worse, labeled and stigmatized, by healthcare providers. SOURCE: Theories of growth and development that emphasize how a woman's sense of self and value derive from being able to maintain highly empathic affiliations. CONCLUSION: The behavioral manifestation of disconnection must be understood so that healthcare providers can provide the most effective care possible.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
