Abstract

In this article we pay attention to the violence which, due to the fear of social stigma, could be hidden from the public eye for a long time but could have serious health consequences for the individual, family, and society - physical and psychological forms of domestic violence and abuse in male-female intimate relationship. Besides its nature and extent data in general population, we review also the surveys data about its theoretical basis, its risk factors and possible effects on mental and physical health, not only on in conflicts involved partners, but also on family as a whole, and especially on the children that growing up in such a problematic domestic circumstances.

  • This frames the victim as responsible for her own fate, much like domestic violence and abuse discourses of emotional abuse and responsibilising the victim for psychological and physical harm.

    “This frames the victim as responsible for her own fate, framing his anger and threats as a result of her responses and his actions as a result of her failing to act correctly; this is much like the discourses found in domestic violence and abuse (DVAB) of emotional abuse and responsibalising the victim for the psychological and physical harm that befalls them (Rakovec-Felser 2014).”

  • Reciprocity in relationships may shift temporarily due to life's challenges, such as illness, distress, financial problems, or transitions.

    “Reciprocity may shift temporarily due to life’s challenges, such as illness, distress, financial problems, or transitions (Rakovec-Felser, 2014).”

    From From use to abuse: psychological, neurobiological, and spiritual pathways in relational harm and recovery (2026) · cites this paper as Rakovec-Felser, 2014

    The section ‘The extent and nature of domestic violence and abuse’ describes cycles of abusive and apologetic behaviour, not temporary shifts in relationship reciprocity. Searches for reciprocity and for illness, distress, financial problems, and transitions found no passage in our copy addressing the claimed connection. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
