Wife-Battering: A Theoretical Construct and Case Report.
Guerney, Bernard, Jr.; And Others
American Journal of Family Therapy, v15 n1 p34-43 Spr 1987
Presents a theoretical construct (prostrate-detonate-dominate-ingratiate) to explain the development and maintenance of wife-battering. Ties the construct to research evidence and, along with clinical observations, uses it to develop a rationale for a type of therapy deemed effective with wife-batters: group marital Relationship Enhancement.
