This book delves into the mental health consequences of domestic abuse against women, including PTSD, depression, and anxiety, with a focus on Qatari women. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative research, the book offers empirically grounded insights for policy interventions. It highlights psychological aggression and economic abuse as the most prevalent forms of abuse, while physical assault and sexual coercion are reported less frequently. Additionally, it explores the reasons why women often remain passive in abusive relationships. The book emphasizes the need for policy measures to prevent domestic abuse and makes a valuable contribution to the growing literature on domestic abuse in the Arab world, a topic that has historically received inadequate attention in academic research.
