What is it that happens that many women, with the passing of the days, abandon or retract the complaint filed? The Battered Women’s Syndrome is intended to explain why some women are not able to protect themselves effectively or to escape the situation of abuse received by their partners. According to this model, women adapt to the aversive situation and develop strategies to face aggression and minimize emotional suffering. These strategies can be minimization, negation or dissociation, among others.
