Domestic abuse is defines as a coercive and controlling behavior
within a family that can be life-threatening
To properly dissect the problem of domestic abuse, the
biopsychosocial model
The causes of domestic violence are varied and usually overlap
Another cause is when the abuser has experienced domestic abuse as
a child, or has witnessed a parent or relative being domestically abused
There are a variety of other causes of aggression and abuse,
however, since most triggers of abuse are emotional
Since aggression and abuse are linked with frustration
Some psychoanalysts argue that aggressive people should vent their
anger in order to reduce it, a process they call catharsis. However, research
has indicated that is only increases aggressive behavior
In some cases, people fault the victim of domestic abuse for not
leaving the relationship
Domestic abuse is a serious issue that ruins many lives, if you
know someone that is suffering from such a situation; intervene and tell their
friends, relatives or even the police, and do not fall for the bystander effect
