Battered husbands
PA Gisborne to talk about about wives being battered because of drink was to deal with only half the problem, said the executive director of the National Society on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Mr Roy Johnston, in Gisborne. “I feel the emphasis on battered wives is quite inappropriate: in our clinical situations we get an equal number of
battered husbands,” said Mr Johnstos. He was commenting on statements made on battered wives by Mrs Erin Pizzey, who was brought to New Zealand by the Mental Health Foundation. Mrs Pizzey helped to establish the Chiswick women’s refuge in Britain, the first of a number of refuges for women assaulted by their husbands.
