TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Will your patient admit "he hits me"? JO - Tennessee medicine A1 - Park, I. B. SP - 382 EP - 383 VL - 91 IS - 10 N2 - Family violence is typically progressive. As a man realizes the effectiveness of physical and emotional coercion, he tends to use it more frequently. In the face of imbalance of power in the relationship, a victim becomes more fearful, more submissive, and more likely to face serious injury. This is the first of a two-part series on physicians helping patients cope with domestic violence.
