本篇研究旨在探討一名在求助過程中受挫的四十歲受暴婦女Ｌ（匿名），其內在的信念、存活的力量、以及生命轉換的歷程。同時本研究也試圖彰顯研究者與當事人在對談過程中互動的狀況與詮釋循環改變的歷程。研究者藉由五次、總時數九小時二十分鐘的深度訪談來蒐集資料，並且以詮釋學的理念來做資料分析。研究結果發現：目睹家暴的經驗催化了Ｌ想要成為拯救別人的角色，也讓她走進婚暴的陷阱；但這樣的經驗正也是Ｌ修復內心深沈的傷痛與轉化生命的力量來源。而在此互為主體的對談過程中，研究者也指出對專業助人者的提醒：有些受暴婦女的深沈傷痛是無法單以同理視域進入的，所以當「無話可說」時，倒不如真誠相伴；此外要能看到受暴婦女存活得勝的堅韌生命力，而非以病態的觀點待之，方能減少對她們造成二度傷害。

The main purposes of this paper were to explore the different aspects of a battered woman, L, including her inner most believes, her changing process and her strengths as a survivor. This paper also demonstrated the interactions between the researcher and this battered woman. Five in-depth interviews were used to gather information and the hermeneutic inquiry was applied to analyze the data. Researchers found that because of the childhood experiences of witnessing L’s father beating her mother, she pushed herself to become a savior and therefore was trapped in her violent marriage. Yet, when L’s life was threatened, she started to realize the value of her own life and was able to motivate her strengths to save herself. During the process of the interviews, L was able to connect her childhood experiences with her current believes, and she was also aware of her own strengths. At the same time, the researcher also had to modify her own pre-understanding so as to understand L in a more complete way. According to these results, three suggestions were provided to professional helpers.
