520			_aThis article discussed the prevalence and pervasiveness of psychological abuse. The author posits that, in New Zealand, psychological abuse may occur more frequently than both physical and sexual abuse. This paper investigates psychological abuse in isolation from physical or sexual abuse. The author defines psychological abuse for measurement purposes, as violence of this nature is difficult to recognise. The widespread acceptance and tolerance of psychological abuse towards women, primarily due to overarching patriarchal beliefs of male control and dominance, is examined. Aspects of the 1995 Domestic Violence Act pertinent to this form of abuse are discussed. This article also analyses prevention and treatment programmes based on a psycho-social perspective targeting both perpetrators and victims.
