Wife battering refers to violent acts-psychological, sexual and/or physical assault-by an assailant against his wife and/or partner made with the intent of controlling the partner by inducing fear and pain. This paper addresses a theory about battered women and some common myths about battering are explored in social and historical context. It makes some suggestions concerning the physician's responsibility. As battered women may not complain of having been beaten, family physicians must be able to recognize behavioral symptoms in violent families and identify patterns of injury. Appropriate intervention always involves protecting the victim from further injury by stopping the cycle of violence and offering to help victims regain control by learning new ways to respond and connect with appropriate community resources.
家庭暴力是指施虐者对其妻子和/或伴侣实施的暴力行为，包括心理、性和/或身体攻击，其目的是通过引起恐惧和痛苦来控制伴侣。本文提出了一个关于受虐妇女的理论，并在社会和历史背景下探讨了一些关于家庭暴力的常见误解。它还提出了一些关于医生责任的建议。由于受虐妇女可能不会抱怨被殴打，家庭医生必须能够识别暴力家庭中的行为症状，并确定伤害模式。适当的干预措施始终包括通过阻止暴力循环和提供帮助受害者通过学习新的应对方式和与适当的社区资源建立联系来重新获得控制来保护受害者免受进一步伤害。
