- Abusive relationship
- Interpersonal violence (now dubbed IPV) occurs in many types of relationships and takes many forms. It can happen within marriages, among dating couples, in lesbian and gay relationships, or between parents and children, siblings, and roommates, as well as elders being abused by family members. Men are the abusers in the overwhelming majority of domestic violence incidents. The abuser may use a number of tactics other than physical violence to maintain power and control over his or her victim. There are three categories of abuse: physical, sexual and psychological.
