Guardianship for coercively controlled battered women: Breaking the control of the abuser
HEADNOTE
thirty-two-year-old Hedda Nussbaum met Joel Steinberg, she was an independent, "competent, sophisticated, intelligent person who was gaining recognition in her career"2 as a book editor.3 After three years together, Joel began to beat Hedda and to control most of her daily decisions.4 During the course of their relationship, he permanently disfigured her face, broke her nose, and punched her so often that she developed a cauliflower ear.5 He damaged her vocal cords, injured her hands, and chipped and loosened her teeth. Joel hit Hedda for the first time in 1978, and a few months later, the beatings accelerated, eventually rupturing her spleen.6 During the last days of their relationship
"The destructive impact of violence in . . . an intimate relationship may be so complete that the victim is rendered incapable of independent judgment even to save one's own life."1
