Summary

"The Battered Woman Syndrome" by Lenore E. A. Walker is a seminal work in understanding the psychological effects of domestic violence on women. The book explores the cycle of abuse, the impact on victims' mental health, and provides insights into legal and therapeutic approaches to support survivors. Walker introduces and elaborates on the concept of Battered Woman Syndrome, a key term in the fields of psychology and law, which has been instrumental in helping courts understand the dynamics of abusive relationships and justifying self-defense claims by battered women. This edition updates the clinical research, offers case studies, and discusses contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence.
