The objectives of the book were to explore what constitutes psychological abuse for three married women in the Cayman Islands and how they perceived their experience of psychological abuse from their spouse. Data collected were by interviews that concentrated on the lived experience of the women and how they interpreted their experience of psychological abuse. The participants experiences are described separately as well as integrated into a summary experience representing the group as a whole.
