Increasing Awareness about Possible Neurological Alterations in Brain Status Secondary to Intimate Violence

چکیده
Issues of domestic violence were first addressed and identified in the late 1970s (Chescheir, 1996; Healey, Smith & O’Sullivan, 1998; Muelleman et al., 1996). These early studies focused on the characteristics of the abuser, punishment of the perpetrator, the relationship between the perpetrator and the recipient of abuse, and intervention strategies. In the late 1990s, what was termed domestic violence expanded and now is more accurately called intimate violence.
