- There
is no agreement on the theories that attempt to
explain the abuse of women by their partners or
spouses. Thus, interventions vary, depending on
individual practitioners' conceptualizations of
the problem. This article uses attachment theory
and theories of connection and relationship to examine
the causes of spousal violence and the tendency
for abusive relationships to persist.

- Domestic
violence has long been acknowledged as an issue
in intimate relationships but treated as a private,
rather than a public, problem. As fewer federal
funds are made available and more fiscal responsibility
is shifted to state governments, the states' policies
wilt become more and more critical. This article
assesses New York State's domestic violence policy
and presents a framework of a three-tier continuum
of services: shelter and short-term assistance,
transitional services, and treatment for drug and
alcohol abuse and mental health problems
