回顾了离开虐待关系的四个方面:(a)。与最初离开施虐伴侣有关的因素; (二)。离开虐待关系的过程; (三)。幸存者离开后的心理健康状况;和(d)。这种福祉的预测因素。介绍了每个领域研究的概念和方法的局限性。一致发现的离职预测因素包括物质因素和心理因素。由于受虐妇女在永久离开之前通常会经历几次关于虐待的想法转变,因此强调了将离开作为一个过程的研究。压力过程框架被用来解释看似矛盾的发现,即一些刚刚摆脱虐待关系的女性可能比那些仍然处于虐待关系中的女性有更大的心理困难。对于那些承受最大压力的人来说,心理健康状况可能会随着时间的推移而恶化。研究人员和从业者需要更多地关注离开施虐伴侣的女性的困境。
Four facets of leaving an abusive relationship are reviewed: (a). factors related to initially leaving an abusive partner; (b). the process of leaving an abusive relationship; (c). the psychological well-being of survivors after leaving; and (d). the predictors of this well-being. The conceptual and methodological limitations of studies in each of these areas are presented. Consistently found predictors of leaving include both material and psychological factors. Because battered women typically undergo several shifts in their thinking about the abuse before leaving permanently, research on leaving as a process is highlighted. A stress-process framework is used to explain the seemingly paradoxical finding that some women just out of the abusive relationship may have greater psychological difficulties than those who are still in it. For those experiencing the most stress, psychological health can worsen over time. Researchers and practitioners need to pay more attention to the plight of women who have left abusive partners.
