DESCRIPTION:Many people are familiar with the "Cycle of Violence" first outlined by 
 Lenore Walker in her book The Battered Woman (1979), which describes 
 intimate partner violence as moving through three phases: honeymoon, 
 tension building, explosion, and back to honeymoon. In the scenarios Walker 
 described, the victim does not fight back. But we now understand some 
 victims do fight back. Sometimes it's self-defense, but other times it is a 
 phenomenon called "violent resistance," which is another factor that makes 
 it difficult for people being abused to leave abusive relationships. By 
 understanding all the reasons victims find it hard to leave, we can become 
 more compassionate and supportive friends and family to them.\n\nLeslie
