“…A report on the treatment of couples labeled "sado-masochistic" using paychoanalytic methods recommended supportive techniques including logical discussion, advice and guidance, and setting realistic limits (Reynolds & Siegle, 1959). The report concluded that "ventilation" was used to some degree but was sometimes encouraged to a greater extent than was advisable: ".…”

This paper reviews data on the incidence of marital violence and recommends methods of intervention on a family and social level. Myths which may block awareness of this widespread problem are briefly described. Particular attention is given to the inadequacy of the catharsis hypothesis in explaining and treating marital violence. Interventions for couple counseling aimed at enhancing the couple's problem‐solving abilities and eliminating abusive behavior are described and illustrated with case examples. Several suggestions are made for social interventions including police training, legal reform, and the formation of shelter homes for the victims of abuse.

“…Some experts state that there are batterers who believe it is a man's right to beat his partner and her duty to accept the abuse (Kitchen, 1981;Peterson, 1980;Abrahamsen, 1970;Wolfgang and Feracutti, 1967). Other experts believe spouse abuse is a result of a mental illness or of a personality disorder of the victim and abuser (Finn, 1985;Hilberman, 1980;Waites, 1977-78; Reynolds and Siegle, 1976;Lystad, 1974). Still others believe conjugal violence is the result of a dysfunctional relationship (Weidman, 1986;Deschner, McNeil, and Moore, 1986;Neidig, Freidman, and Collins, 1985;Taylor, 1984) or of stressful environmental factors (Tidmarsh, 1976).…”

A total of 149 social workers from 21 social service agencies responded to questions regarding a client after reading one of six possible case vignettes. The results indicate that social workers stereotype clients who have been battered. In addition, social workers are less likely to consider relocation as an option to protect the victim who is married to her attacker. Also, surprisingly, malc -social workers focus on violence related concerns as targets for intervention more than do female social workers.

“…Before the 1970s, wife abuse was analyzed either psychodynamically or as a specific marital style. (Reynolds and Siegle, 1959). The literature suggests that the services offered by social workers treated the battered woman as pathological or as an active participant in her abuse.…”

In the 1970s, wife abuse became a concern of sociologists, feminists, and family theorists. The new perspectives they brought to the problem, which focused more on social factors than on individual pathology, challenged social workers to examine how their practice and assumptions perpetuated the problem. This article investigates how the social work literature has been affected by new theories of domestic violence and analyzes the impact that these theories have had on practice with battered women.
