Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intimate terrorism refers to violence that is used as a tool of control over one's partner, often involving emotional and psychological abuse in addition to physical violence. This differs from situational couple violence which is more sporadic and not characterized by a need for control, and from terms such as intimate partner violence and marital rape which are more general and do not necessarily involve a controlling dynamic.
