 Physical and emotional abuse cause enormous suffering, and a good deal of research is designed to study various methods to reduce instances of abuse and also to help victims recover from being abused. Imagine that a team of investigators establishes a laboratory to promote the latter line of research. The investigators will enroll consenting adults and, to mimic the experience of extended periods of abuse in real life, they will abuse their participants emotionally and physically for a week. The abused participants will then be used in studies to evaluate the efficacy of different methods for helping victims to cope with the effects of abuse.
