Donald Downs offers an analysis of the injustices behind the logic
of battered woman syndrome, concluding that this very logic harms
those it is trying to protect. The text argues that battered women
often adopt heroic means of survival, retaining accurate, reasoned
perceptions concerning the actions and intentions of their abusers,
and to portray battered women as lacking reason and will undermines
otherwise valid self-defence claims and hurts women more generally.
Also explored in the work is the "Syndrome Society" more generally.
The author asserts that justice can be achieved without stripping
victims of reason and reponsibility - the very attributes that make
citizenship possible.
