I think the most compassionate and practical approach is prevention. Like in the case of the woman in the OP, how could society have stopped her being assaulted multiple times and grown up never feeling safe? We have to change conditions that breed things like abuse and neglect... people who are happy and have purpose are far more unlikely to abuse others. I think there is too much pressure on everyone because our values are competition and materialism. People become cynical and selfish and it's self perpetuating. It's an important job to try and heal the broken, but I wish we all could be moving together to make it so that life doesn't break people in the first place.
