Source 1: Partner Abuse in Disabled Women

This source’s claim  is saying that “women who are at increased risk for intimate partner violence: women with disabilities.”  This article is written by Karen G. Langer in the American Journal of Psychotherapy.  She uses many sources in her article, including books, other articles, and some studies, including one from Baylor, and one from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention.  One quote that I think represents what this article is talking about says that a couple people “identified some of the reasons for increased vulnerability for abuse as increased dependency on others, violation and denial of human rights, less chance of discovery or reporting the abuse, social isolation, and increased risk of manipulation” (115).  I plan on using this source for stats, quotes, and many other things.  Because of all the studies that are included in the paper, this source has plentiful information that can be useful to making my point in my paper.
