There are many types of intimate partner abuse that occur on a daily basis around the world. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, psychological abuse involves many behaviors including humiliating the victim, controlling what they can do, withholding information from them, purposely making them feel diminished or embarrassed, isolating them, denying them financial access, stalking them, demeaning them, undermining their sense of self-worth, and convincing them they are crazy (n.d.). Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner.
In terms of its long-lasting effects, there is a correlation between domestic abuse and having a higher rate of depression and suicidal behavior. “Physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health effects have been linked with intimate partner violence including adolescent pregnancy, unintended pregnancy in general, miscarriage, stillbirth, intrauterine hemorrhage, nutritional deficiency, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal problems, neurological disorders, chronic pain, disability, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension, cancer and cardiovascular diseases” (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, n.d.). Additionally, victims of domestic violence are at an increased risk for having problems with addictive behaviors such as with alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Lastly, 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and 90% of these children are eyewitnesses to this violence. These numbers are astonishing and witnessing such violence can have detrimental effects of the children.
A case study done by Marshall, was designed to identify patterns of psychological abuse and determine whether different patterns mediate the effects of violence and sexual aggression. Interviews were completed with 578 (80.3%) of 720 women who volunteered for a study of “bad” or “stressful” heterosexual relationships. Cluster analysis with 51 items assessing many types of subtle and overt psychological abuse identified six groups. Total psychological abuse, threats of violence, acts of violence, and sexual aggression scores made different contributions to women’s health, help seeking, and relationship perceptions depending on the pattern of abuse they sustained (Marshall, 1996).
Psychological abuse can cause long-term effects to a victim’s mental health even without the presence of secondary domestic violence (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, n.d.). Based on the above facts, it would be imperative to further investigate the subject of psychological abuse, risk factors for it, the long-lasting symptoms it causes and ways to prevent/treat it effectively. Since these questions may require several research studies, I would focus on the long-lasting effects of psychological abuse of women’s future intimate relationships.
