Breaking the Web of Abuse and Silence: Voices of Battered Woman in Japan.
Yoshihama, Mieko
Social Work, v47 n4 p389-400 Oct 2002
Presents the findings of a focus group research project with battered women in Tokyo, Japan. Participants' narratives of their experience suggest a web of entrapment, from which women saw little possibility of escape. The article discusses implications for social work practice and research with immigrant battered women, those from Japan in particular. (Contains 49 references.) (GCP)
