Abstract

This article discusses components of male and female gender scripting and their effects on individuals and relationships, particularly in relation to domestic violence. Descriptions of constructs of Western cultural gender scripting are offered based on the author's clinical experience and her interviews with men who participated in a qualitative research project to determine the causes of domestic violence and nonviolence. Three patterns that are common to violent/abusive men and that are based on gender scripting are presented.
