Forty-nine women who attended a surgical emergency department after being battered are the subjects of this prospective study. The childhood and adolescence of the women had been marked by abuse and violence in the parental home. Most of the women had suffered prolonged, repeated battering. Fifty-one per cent of the women and 88% of their male assailants were considered to be heavy consumers of alcohol and in over half of the cases of battering both the man and the women had been drinking. In most cases the women's own children were present when the mother was beaten. One third of the women stated that they were highly dependent on the man in question emotionally. It is concluded that social heredity, heavy consumption of alcohol and emotional dependence on the male assailant are major reasons for the woman's inability to break away from a relationship characterized by repeated battering.
四十九名遭受殴打后前往外科急诊室的女性是这项前瞻性研究的对象。这些女性的童年和青春期在父母家中都曾遭受过虐待和暴力。大多数女性都遭受过长时间的反复殴打。51%的女性及其88%的男性攻击者被认为是酗酒者，在超过一半的殴打案例中，男性和女性都饮酒了。在大多数情况下，母亲被殴打时她们自己的孩子就在现场。三分之一的女性表示，她们在情感上高度依赖相关男性。研究得出结论，社会遗传、酗酒以及对男性攻击者的情感依赖是女性无法摆脱反复殴打关系的主要原因。
