The psychodynamic implications of battering : a review of empirical research

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper aims to provide an understanding of the psychodynamic implications of
battering on the victims of this form of abuse. Three dominant approaches to trauma
(one descriptive, one explanatory and one phenomenological) are briefly discussed.
Available empirical data is then explored to ascertain whether the empirical research
correspond to these dominant theories. The research indicates that the theories all
highlight different aspects of battering and all have important implications for
treatment. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk poog om die psigodinamiese implikasies van vroue mishandeling te
verstaan. Drie dominante modelle van hierdie vorm van trauma (een beskrywend, een
verduidelikend, en een fenomonologies) word kortliks bespreek. Beskikbare
empiriese navorsing word ge-eksploreer om vas te stelof die navorsing ooreenstem
met hierdie dominante modelle. Die navoring dui daarop dat al hierdie modelle
verskillende aspekte van vroue mishandeling uitlig, en dat al hierdie modelle
beduidende implikasies het vir behandeling.
