I just checked out a book from my library on women that keep going back to their abusers, which challenges the victim model of women that're abused, and then looks at it from the perspective that the women might have mental issues too.
it'll be an interesting read.

“In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
