The past 20 years have seen the emergence of family violence as one
of the most critical problems facing society. The alarming
incidence figures of abuse and neglect directed toward family
members justify this atten tion. For example, over 1 million
children are thought to be abused and neglected each year.
Similarly, almost 2 million women are victims of wife battering
each year. Annual rates of elderly mistreatment are thought to be
as high as 32 per 1000 population. Accurate epidemiologi cal data
only now are being compiled on more recently recognized forms of
mistreatment, such as psychological abuse, ritualistic abuse of
chil dren, and child witnessing of adult violence. The
pervasiveness of do mestic mistreatment makes it a priority for
clinicians and researchers alike. For clinicians, intrafamilial
violence represents a formidable chal lenge with respect to
assessment and treatment. The etiology of abuse and neglect is
multidetermined. There are numerous pathways in the development of
family violence, and these interact and converge in a nonlinear
fashion. The consequences of family violence are equally com plex
and divergent. Victims of mistreatment can display a variety of
physical injuries and psychological disturbances. No single
psychiatric syndrome or symptom constellation has been consistently
implicated in any form of family mistreatment. The perpetrators of
family violence are equally heterogeneous in their clinical
presentations. Illustrative dys functions in perpetrators include
skill deficits, substance abuse, mental illness, and
impulse-control disorders."
