Abstract: In recent years, domestic violence has been so severe that it not only causes the injuries of the victims, but also has serious impact on children witnesses who are exposed to family violence in the long term. Children who witness domestic violence can learn violent behavior through observation, imitation, reinforcement, and rationalization. There is also a tendency that domestic violence in the biological families will affect their own families when they grow up, forming the intergenerational transmission of domestic violence. In general, foreign scholars emphasize the theoretical research and empirical analysis. Through case study,comparison, contrast,and follow-up survey, they find that witness children may get post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and pass the abuse pattern to the next generation, and offer quantitative criteria for the effectiveness of interventions for witness children. Through clinical trials and inductive analysis, Chinese scholars find witness children may have problems in physiological, psychological and cognitive behaviors, and notice the possible violence acquisition mechanism among witness children. However, there are still some limitations, such as few studies were about children who witness domestic violence and interpretation of professional appraisal and intervention is insufficient, with no summary that is comparatively systematic and comprehensive. In future, research emphasis should be put on strengthening theoretical analysis, exploring intervention model and deepening of indigenized researches.

Key words: domestic violence, witness children, intergenerational transmission
