Abstract
Who is at risk for an abusive relationship? How can those in relationships avoid abuse? What are the effects of an abusive relationship? Why do people stay in abusive relationships? This paper discusses and answers these questions about the impact an abusive relationship. It explains that they are destructive, have patterns, and can repeat themselves throughout generations. There are many different types of abuse, from physical to psychological, and each one can lead to emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, and even death. It mentions that abusive relationships have a long history, and as more is understood about them and what causes them, more can be done to aid both the abused and their abusers.
From the Paper
"Abusive relationships are extremely destructive to all the parties involved ? as much to the abuser as to the abused. Abusive relationships have often been hidden and out of sight, however, as they become more prevalent in a more violent society, more study has been done on them, and more opportunities exist for the abused to get out of their abusive relationships and begin new lives. The pattern of abuse can stop, but it is a long and difficult process for everyone involved, and abusers are never "cured" of their disease, they simply learn how to master it. Abuse in relationships is like any other addiction, such as alcohol, gambling, or drugs, and it must be treated as a disease, rather than simply a societal issue. Abusers need help as much as their abused relatives do, and that is the first step in ending the abuse pattern."

From the Paper
"This is an area where family therapy can be especially facilitative. For families in which self-expression is considered a weakness, an empowerment approach can help define the family in terms of the unique forms, structures, and roles that clients are actually immersed in or are attempting to renegotiate, rather than in terms of an ideal unit. Clients should be supported in defining their families for themselves and then in using creative outreach strategies to actively involve the identified members in a variety of family sessions."

"The Impact of Parental Substance Abuse on Child Abuse
Introduction
KidsCampaign (1998), a national foster care organization, reported that of all the recent trends in child welfare, perhaps none has been more troubling than the increase in cases of child abuse and neglect resulting from parental abuse of alcohol and drugs. In this regard, the organization states that nearly 3.1 million American children are, each year, reported to child protective services as abused or neglected; and substance abuse was found to be a factor in a majority of these cases.
It is further reported by the organization that research conducted by the Child Welfare League of America and other organizations have found that substance abuse to be a factor in at least 75 percent of all placements in out-of-home care. It is..."

Male Victims of Abuse, 2006.
This paper studies heterosexual males and abusive relationships.

Abstract
This paper explores the behavior patterns of heterosexual males who have experienced abusive relationships. The dynamics of the abusive relationship and decisions made by the males to remain in the relationship are of significant interest, as understanding these relationships shall help in establishing empathy with male victims of abuse during the communications processes. The paper explains that this is achieved through a study of the literature on abuse.
From the Paper
"Abuse and sexual partnerships have been studied in the behavioral sciences, both as a means of understanding why persons in abusive relationships remain willing to participate in a negative relationship and to attempt to find strategies to help provide solutions for the abuser and victim. Traditionally, the literature on abusive relationships has focused on heterosexual partnerships in which the male is the abuser or on homosexual partnerships in which one male abuses the other. Abusive heterosexual relationships in which the female is the abuser and the male is the victim is studied with less frequency, in large part because relationship dynamics of this nature are fewer in number than other forms of relationship abuse (Das Dasgupta, 2002)."

Abstract
The research reported in this paper consists of a qualitative study of five adolescents (between the ages of 18 and 20 years) who, at the time of the study, had signed up to receive substance abuse treatment at a local clinic. The small sample of young women were interviewed in an effort to discover their views of personal relationships and how these relationships are related to abusing drugs or alcohol. The paper includes a personal perspective on the issue, as the writer recounts her experience with substance abuse within her own family.
From the Paper
"Virtually every teen interviewed believed that she could not stop abusing drugs without developing a relationship with somebody (an adult, a counselor, a boyfriend, etc.) who really pushed for her to stop the abuse. Two of the girls felt that this relationship had to be with a boyfriend and that even if counselors and empathetic adults helped them, if their boyfriend wasn't like this, they would probably continue to use drugs."

Abstract
In a relationship where the woman is constantly abused, emotions often propel her toward staying with the abuser. This paper discusses the emotional dynamics involved in these types of relationships. It questions why abused women stay with their partners and even claim to love them. The paper uses Anna Quindlen?s book "Black and Blue" and Roddy Doyle's "The Women Who Walked into Doors" to explore these issues.
From the Paper
"A woman involved in an abusive relationship often grew up being abused. Therefore, she has learned how to cope with the abuse ? even seeing the abuse as almost ?normal? or an ?acceptable? part of everyday life. In Anna Quindlen?s book Black and Blue, the main character, Frannie Flynn Benedetto, states, ?There are ways and ways of dying, and some of them leave you walking around. I'd learned that from watching my father, and my husband, too? (Quindlen, p. 13). Frannie Flynn Benedetto makes a comparison between the behavior of her father and her abusive husband. One may infer by her statement that while growing up with her father, she learned how to live and get along in an abusive family situation."

Abstract
The writer explores many aspects of how alcohol affects the relationship that fathers and sons have in various stages of their lives. The paper shows that if the father has an alcohol problem, the relationship is almost always negatively affected and the son can develop many negative traits, including the inability to succeed, the tendency to abuse others and the possibility of becoming an alcoholic himself. The paper shows the development of these negative traits in toddlers, school children and teens.
From the Paper
"Science has concluded that children of alcoholics have a higher chance of becoming alcoholics therefore the son of an alcoholic is also more prone to the problem (Rose, 1998). Studies have also discovered that the sons of alcoholics develop more mental health issues than others. An alcoholic father teaches the son by example to hide behind being drunk instead of face the feelings he has. In addition an alcoholic father often has co-morbid disorders which further damage the relationship that he has with his children."

Abstract
This paper discusses the motivation behind sexual offenders and the devastating effects of the crime on its victims. The paper explains that sexual offenders turn their victims into objects that they dominate and degrade and that sexual child abuse and rape hurts the individual mentally and spiritually. Furthermore, victims are often misunderstood and suffer long-term problems. The paper includes statistics on rape and child sexual abuse.
From the Paper
"According to the U.S. Department of Justice, "Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes" (American Rape Statistics 2006). Rape is a major problem in America with many women failing to report rape to the police or even their significant other. One in six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape..." (2005). Are these women raped by strangers? Are these women harmed if they are not beaten or stabbed? The statistics on sexual child abuse is similar. "The typical child sex offender molests an average of 117 children, most of who do not report the offence" (Child Abuse 2006). Many of these victims become adults without telling anyone during their childhood years and often do not tell others even as adults. Child Abuse Research and Statistics show that "there are 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today"."

Abstract
This paper examines the dynamics of the supervisor/supervisee relationship in psychology graduate students' internship experiences. Particular attention is given to how often bad internship experiences occur, why they occur, and what the role of the internship supervisor is in creating these bad experiences. In addition, the paper includes a careful examination of abuses of power in the supervisor/supervisee relationship and why they occur.

From the Paper
"One of the most important and most demanding parts of the psychology doctoral student's educational experience is the mandatory internship. In this internship, often lasting a year or more beyond the completion of regular coursework, a doctoral student is expected to put all of what he or she has learned in the classroom into real world practice. It is a testing ground and a proving ground for those wishing to become practicing psychologists. It is during the internship that doctoral students get to find out first-hand just how well they have mastered certain techniques, as well as learning what things are much different in the textbooks than they are in actual practice. It is a challenging, yet rewarding time that makes a student ready to begin practice on his or her own."

"Dubliners", 2007.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how "Dubliners" by James Joyce explores the various stages of life through stories and how within these stages, different types of themes and conflicts are shown through various types of relationships. It discusses how Joyce provides insight into male relationships, showing how men feel about the single life, marriage and friendships and how the most interesting relationship he shows is between men and women. The paper contends that it is through this specific relationship that the reader sees all types of themes: abuse, lust, obsession, disappointment and that one common theme of Joyce's throughout the male and female relationships is that of abuse.
From the Paper
"In "Araby," the narrator has a childish, boy-hood crush on a girl who is only referred to as "Mangan's older sister." The girl may not have been given a name to symbolize the mystery that surrounds her that the narrator finds so intriguing; she could also represent the unknown, and the narrator's fear of talking or communicating with her is the "fear of the unknown." Just the very sight of her walking out of her house was enough to make "my heart leap[ed]" (Joyce 21). He describes his fascination with her as "confused adoration," as he has definite feelings for her, but is perplexed as to what to say to her or what he can do for her to show his true feelings (22). She was constantly on his mind, as "her image accompanied me even in places the most hostile to romance;" by describing places as "hostile," he somewhat implies that romance is his enemy instead of a companion, something he wishes he had but feels as though it's a battle to gain it (21).

Abstract
This paper examines how the film "This Boy's Life" characterizes the relationship between a mother and son and their attempts to cope with the abusive adult men in their lives. There is a discussion of the characters of the film and how effectively the film treats the issues wife and child abuse.
From the Paper
"The film This Boy's Life (1993) is set in the 1950s and does a good job of recreating that era. The look is right, but the characters are also right, with attitudes about certain subjects showing that they come from a different time than we do today. For those of us who recall that era, the film has a certain nostalgic value, though it also should make us think that we have done well to get away from some of the past we remember."
