Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relational violence refers to the use of physical, verbal, or emotional abuse to assert power and control over a partner. David's threats and insulting remarks towards Beth are a clear example of relational violence. Relational intrusion and stalking are forms of unwanted monitoring or harassment that can sometimes lead to violence, but they do not necessarily involve physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. A de-escalating relationship refers to a situation where conflicts and tensions between partners are reduced over time, which is not applicable in this scenario.
