Preferred term

battered woman syndrome  

Definition

  • Battered woman syndrome (BWS) is a psychiatric and legal term that refers to the constellation of psychological effects experienced by abused women and is intended to explain, for example, why women stay with their abusive partners and why abused women sometimes kill their abusive partners. The term emerged in the late 1970s and has been a source of legal and academic controversy ever since. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Battered Woman Syndrome]
