将因婚姻困难寻求治疗的身体虐待妇女（虐待妇女，n = 49）与婚姻不和谐、非虐待妇女（仅不和谐，n = 23）和婚姻满意的非虐待妇女（社区对照，n = 25）进行比较。 虐待妇女报告说，她们的配偶更害怕，并报告说，她们的配偶更具有胁迫性和心理侵略性比妇女在2个匹配的非虐待组。 受虐待的妇女没有报告更高的虐待率作为一个孩子，也没有报告更高的比率，过去的精神病理学比妇女在非虐待组。 然而，受虐妇女和nonabused不和谐的妇女报告说，在儿童时期的情感虐待率高于婚姻满意nonabused妇女。 此外，这两个临床组有一个倾向，有更高的终身抑郁症的比率在他们目前的婚姻比婚姻满意的妇女。 这一结果表明，童年虐待和抑郁症的历史可能是危险因素的妇女在虐待和非虐待不和谐的关系。 正如预期的那样，受虐待的妇女报告的创伤后应激障碍的发病率高于不和谐的妇女和社区对照组。 标准治疗婚姻问题和治疗身体虐待的受害者的治疗影响进行了讨论。
Physically abused women seeking treatment for marital difficulties (abused women, n = 49) were compared with maritally discordant, nonabused women (discordant only, n = 23) and maritally satisfied nonabused women (community control, n = 25). Abused women reported significantly more fear of their spouses and reported that their spouses were significantly more coercive and psychologically aggressive than women in the 2 matched nonabused groups. Abused women did not report higher rates of abuse as a child, nor did they report higher rates of past psychopathology than women in the nonabused groups. However, abused women and nonabused discordant women reported higher rates of emotional abuse in childhood than maritally satisfied nonabused women. Furthermore, both clinical groups had a tendency to have higher lifetime rates of major depression before their current marriage than the maritally satisfied women. This result suggests that childhood abuse and a history of depression may be risk factors for women in abusive and nonabusive discordant relationships. As expected, abused women reported higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder than women in the discordant-only and community control groups. Treatment implications for both standard treatments for marital problems and treatments for victims of physical abuse are discussed.
