This article contains an overview of the many possible answers to the question often asked of battered women, “why do they stay?”; It explores economic, social and psychological factors which may inhibit an abused woman from leaving her abuser. At the end of the article is an interview schedule designed to extract information regarding the unique situation in which the individual woman is functioning. The counselor thereby learns which factors need to be addressed and which are irrelevant to the woman's particular situation, thus increasing the efficiency and value of future counseling sessions
