What is the theory behind this Physical Abuse Worksheet?
Physical abuse refers to the infliction of intentional bodily injury upon another person. Anyone can be an abuser; a parent, a spouse, a partner, or a sibling. Abuser’s intention is to hurt the victim, who is primarily a vulnerable person. Although anyone can be physically abused, women and children are a more vulnerable cohort. Many victims of physical abuse want to escape the situation, but they might believe they must have done something to deserve such treatment or may think that the abuser might change.
