Listening to the Voices of Battered Women: What Helps Them Escape Violence

Meera Srinivasan

This article reports on a study that used focus groups to determine what helps battered women get out of their abusive relationships and survive and grow once they have left their abusers. The principles for social work practice with battered women that were derived from this research are based on the women's accounts of their experiences and of their needs.
