520			_aThis paper describes the difficulties in assessing the incidence of maternal violence and reviews the available statistical data. The author concludes that the level of maternal violence is significant and requires much more systematic research. The second part of the paper looks at causes of maternal violence and notes that the three major determinants, the parenting context, the violent mother's past experiences and the target child, play different but interrelated roles. Bowden argues that the highly stressful situation under which New Zealand mothers parent provides the context for violence. Unresolved feelings from the mother's past generate the violence and the child inadvertently provides the trigger.
