In the legal field, the term “psychiatric injury” refers to non-physical harm caused by nervous shock or mental illness recognized by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Ministry of the Interior. (2013). Ministry of Interior Circular 003/2013: New definition of domestic violence and abuse by the government. Retrieved October 13, 2015, by www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-government-domestic-violence-and-abuse-definition Domestic violence often manifests itself as a systematic pattern of coercive behaviour and control aimed at relieving the victim of responsibility. Gender expectations are often exploited by the author to achieve this, and as a result, the broader social and cultural conditions of gender inequality are implicated in much of the commission of domestic violence and abuse. Nevertheless, the legal system continues to adopt a gender-neutral approach, emphasizing serious physical violence as evidence of abuse. This creates a “hierarchy of harm” where non-physical aspects of domestic violence are considered less severe and require less action. Bishop concludes that the law would be a more effective tool once domestic violence is conceived by the legal system as a gender-based crime, recognizing deprivation of autonomy as a central harm.

The Conflict Tactics Scale is a method of self-completion used to assess the extent of physical violence and conflict in a family context. Founded in 1979 by Murray Straus. According to the Office for National Statistics (2014), in 2012/13, 7.1% of women and 4.4% of men reported having been victims of domestic violence in the past year, representing approximately 1.2 million female victims of domestic violence and 700,000 male victims. A study cited by Refuge shows that nearly 30 women attempt suicide every day and three women a week commit suicide because they have been victims of domestic violence.
