Abstract
This study presents information on 30 couples involved in marital violence within a sample of 60 couples who were seeking psychiatric assistance for marital conflict. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were used in data analysis. Key variables identifying battered wives were frequent alcohol use by their husbands, frequent marital arguments, a low educational level, and frequent legal drug use. Abusing husbands were characterized by backgrounds of family violence, frequent alcohol use, a low education level, and frequent marital arguments.
