In recognition of the pattern of family violence, the nurse knows that spouses are the most fre-quent abusers. Child abuse is increasing, not decreasing. Mental illness may increase the inci-dence of abuse within a family, but is not a major cause of abuse. Emotional, physical, and sexual abuse occurs across all social classes.
