The reach of violence against women (VAW) has been profoundly felt by women across the United States and around the globe. VAW has been documented for decades as a legal and social justice problem, but as illuminated in this review, it is also a substantial mental health concern. A full understanding of the phenomenon must include discussion of how often it occurs, in what forms, and to whom. This review defines violence against women in its variant forms and examines the literature on the mental health effects associated with these abuse experiences. The effectiveness of the mental health system's response to the complex needs of women suffering battering, rape, stalking, and psychological aggression is also examined. The future of research and the important role of the discipline of psychology in the future of this field of study are discussed.
针对妇女的暴力行为（VAW）在美国乃至全球各地的妇女中都产生了深远的影响。数十年来，VAW 一直被视为法律和社会正义问题，但正如本次综述所阐明的那样，它也是一个严重的心理健康问题。要全面了解这一现象，就必须讨论它的发生频率、形式和对象。本综述定义了各种形式的针对妇女的暴力行为，并审查了与这些虐待经历相关的心理健康影响的文献。还审查了心理健康系统对遭受殴打、强奸、跟踪和心理攻击的妇女的复杂需求的反应的有效性。讨论了未来的研究以及心理学学科在该研究领域的未来发展中所扮演的重要角色。
