N2  - This qualitative study was conducted with a convenience sample of 20 South Asian women experiencing domestic violence in the United States. The results explore the patterns of abuse and factors and circumstances (i.e. turning points) that motivated South Asian women to change in the context of the stage that they were in as per the Landenburger's model (binding, enduring, disengaging, and recovery). The four themes that emerged from the interviews and analysis are (1) 'Timing and Frequency of abuse', (2) 'Methods of control - financial, isolation and suspicion', (3) 'Cycle of Abuse', and (4)' Turning Points - motivation to change'. Implications for practice and policy-level changes for abused South Asian women in the United States are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
