Description:
This presentation focuses on the identification of psychological abuse in Chinese women. By exploring the context surrounding negative psychological behaviors in intimate relationships, the differences in the behaviors reported by abused women and non-abused women are revealed. Such distinctions have the potential of providing a sound basis for addressing the long-standing problem of identifying psychological abuse.
