Comments on the article, "Coping with intimate partner violence: Qualitative findings from the study of dynamics of husband to wife abuse," by Foster et al., (see record 2015-24688-001). However, most intimate partner violence relationships do not escalate to these levels, and the partnerships continue over time. Questions remain regarding how we can understand the dynamics of these continuing relationships while also effectively enhancing the safety of these women and offering them support. Fortunately, the research of Foster and colleagues reported in this issue begins to answer some of these questions. The authors of this study describe how women living with violent partners report various coping approaches that help them maintain their circumstances and survive each day. The results of this study describe the useful boundaries of the COPE Inventory in these settings, add insight to our understanding of IPV family dynamics, and provide information to support clinicians who serve these women.
对福斯特等人所著文章《应对亲密伴侣暴力：夫妻虐待动态研究的定性结果》的评论（见记录2015 - 24688 - 001）。然而，大多数亲密伴侣暴力关系并未升级到这些程度，伴侣关系会持续一段时间。关于我们如何能够理解这些持续关系的动态，同时有效提高这些女性的安全性并为她们提供支持，问题依然存在。幸运的是，本期报道的福斯特及其同事的研究开始回答其中一些问题。该研究的作者描述了与暴力伴侣生活在一起的女性如何报告各种应对方法，这些方法帮助她们维持现状并度过每一天。这项研究的结果描述了应对量表（COPE Inventory）在这些情况下的有效范围，增进了我们对亲密伴侣暴力家庭动态的理解，并为服务这些女性的临床医生提供了支持信息。
