Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is the behavior of entitlement-based coercive control with the goal to punish, intimidate, or eliminate a partner. Domestic abuse is motivated out of the irrational need for dysfunctional personal power.  Unlike anger-based aggression which is motivated by a threat to one’s personal self in context with his or her social self, domestic abuse has as its roots self-serving perspectives of deservedness, centrality, and superiority.
