From the Paper:

"The topic of this dissertation is to identify and promote qualities, which are conducive to women who have experienced past physical abuse in relationships function, successfully in a relationship with a new partner. Women who have been in abusive relationships tend to have "scars" relating to the experience. These scars are not necessarily physical, but refer to the permanent psychological impact that occurs when a trusted partner takes on the role of an abuser. These conditions have a significant impact on the victim's psyche and are reflected in their ability to build healthy future relationships with other non-abusive partners. Social workers need to understand this topic for two reasons. The first is to help the woman recover successfully from instances of past abuse. "
