- Battered Women’s Syndrome – A woman who is repeatedly subjected to any forceful physical or psychological behavior by a man in order to coerce her to do something he wants her to do without concern for her rights…The battering cycle is at least twice.
- Phase 1: “Tension-building stage” – minor battering incidents and verbal abuse.
- Phase 2: “Acute battering incident” – tension is more serious.
- Phase 3: Extreme contrition and loving behavior on the part of the battering male.
- Women become trapped in their own fear. There are socio-economic factors. It’s hard to leave the wack husband.
