TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Understanding survival responses of battered women JO - Maryland medical journal: MMJ A1 - Jackson, J. K. SP - 871 EP - 875 VL - 43 IS - 10 N2 - Battered women often endure years of physical, psychological, and/or sexual abuse at the hands of an intimate partner. To intervene effectively, health professionals need to understand both the external factors and the complex conditioning process that keep many women trapped in abusive relationships. Many of the physical and psychological symptoms shown by battered women can be understood as complex survival strategies and responses to the abuse.
