“…Further, both groups were as likely to report psychological aggression and among the victims, no differences were found in the frequency of these reported acts. Although our findings partially contrast with the findings of , our results are compatible with most previous estimations (e.g., Alexander, 2002;Burke & Follingstad, 1999;Freedner et al, 2005;Potoczniak, Mourot, Crosbie-Burnett, & Potoczniak, 2003) .…”

“…In addition, Potoczniak et al (2003) indicate that, while similarities exist between SSIPV and heterosexual domestic violence, the parallels and differences between same-sex and heterosexual relationships are in need of further study and validation. We agree with the assessment by Greenwood and colleagues (2002) that, in the area of SSIPV research, "sorely needed are theorydriven, longitudinal, mixed methodological and well-controlled studies that systematically elucidate the etiology, maintenance, context, and trajectories" (p. 1968).…”

“…Use clear, consistent definitions to describe the types of violence studied: Clear, consistent definitions of SSIPV are needed in order to strengthen future research in this area (L. K. Burke & Follingstad, 1999;Potoczniak et al, 2003). Researchers studying SSIPV must pay greater attention to the operational definitions they use to define abusive behaviors within relationships.…”

TABLES 1 AND 2 CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE Abstract:This article presents a systematic review of empirical research examining intimate partner violence among same-sex couples. Seventeen studies that met the inclusion criteria were rated using a 15-item evaluation questionnaire. The results indicated that the existing body of research examining same-sex intimate partner violence demonstrates some common methodological strengths and limitations. The authors conclude with a list of recommendations for future research based on the results of this study. Article:Same-sex intimate partner violence (SSIPV) describes acts of physical, psychological, and emotional, and sexual abuse that occur between two intimate partners of the same sex or gender (Murray, Mobley, Buford, & Seaman-DeJohn, 2007). Rates of SSIPV are comparable to rates of heterosexual domestic violence, with approximately one quarter to one half of all same-sex intimate relationships demonstrating abusive dynamics (Alexander, 2002;T. W. Burke, Jordan, & Owen, 2002;McClennen, 2005;Pitt, 2000). The consequences of SSIPV can be severe and affect the involved individuals in many areas of their lives-including their physical and mental health, extended family relationships, social support networks, occupational functioning, and financial well being. SSIPV is therefore a significant issue facing the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population.To date, a limited body of research exists examining the prevalence, dynamics, and consequences of SSIPV. Previous researchers studying the issue have acknowledged significant limitations within the existing research that reduce its usefulness and generalizability, as will be discussed in the review of the literature section. The purpose of the study described in this article was to conduct a systematic evaluation of recent empirical research examining SSIPV. We sought to determine the strengths and weaknesses of this growing body of research in order to define the current state of research examining SSIPV. In addition, we aimed to develop directions for future research based on the needs demonstrated within the existing literature. We recognize the challenges inherent to studying an issue that is as shrouded in silence as SSIPV; therefore, the intent of this study is not to disparage previous researchers and their scholarly endeavors, but rather to provide a solid foundation for stronger research to aid in the understanding of this complex issue.To that end, we reviewed 17 empirical studies examining SSIPV that appeared in the scholarly literature between January 1995 and July 2006. We located studies through an extensive search of databases in relevant academic disciplines. We then conducted a systematic review of the methodologies used in those studies. For this review, we adapted the methodological review strategies used in two previous studies: the review of family preservation program research by Heneghan, Horwitz, and Leventhal (1996) and the review of heterosexual intimate partner violence p...

“…Por un lado encontramos estudios que indican que esta es similar a la existente en relaciones heterosexuales (DiStefano, 2009;Potoczniak et al, 2003), sin embargo, otros estudios señalan que afecta a entre un 25% y un 33% de la población LGB (Browne& Lime, 2007;Henderson, 2003;Peterman & Dixon, 2003), mientras que otros estudios establecen una prevalencia que va desde el 38% al 40% (Donovan et al, 2006;Reyes, Rodríguez & Malavé, 2005; Rodrí-guez-Madera & Toro-Alfonso, 2004), e incluso nos encontramos estudios que presentan altas tasas de prevalencia que van del 50% al 60% (ALDARTE, 2010;Ohms, 2006). No obstante, tal y como señalan Chan yReseacher (2005) resulta complicado determinarlas tasas de prevalencia debido principalmente a la escasez de estudios, así como al tipo de instrumentos y metodología utilizada.…”

“…Este aspecto se observa en los estudios de Hellmuth et al, (2008) y Reyes, Rodríguez y Malavé (2005), en los cuales se indica que existe un elevado número de víctimas y agresores que reconocen que cuando sufrieron episodios de violencia el/la agresor/a estaba bajo los efectos de este tipo de substancias. La existencia de mitos, estereotipos y la idealización de las personas LGB y sus relaciones son elementos que favorecen la existencia y perpetuación de este tipo de violencia (ALDARTE, 2012;Cantera, 2004;Potoczniak et al, 2003). Así mismo la existencia de ciertos requisitos sociales, la falta de recursos económicos, la dependencia económica, el hecho de ser joven o extranjero son elementos que favorecen la existencia de roles que sitúan a la víctima en situaciones de inferioridad, el aislamiento, el control y la dificultad para encontrar ayuda.…”

Abstract:In this theoretical study has been carried out a systematic revision of the main results obtained on violence in homosexual and bisexual couples. We set off of the bibliographic revision carried out for Richard, Noret &Rivers (2003) in the one that if they compiled a total of 26 studies since 1978 up to 2002, a new revision is carried out in the main databases during period 2002-2012, a total of 43 studies is obtained on violence in couples LGB. It analyzed itself the type of sample, the method and used instrument, as well as the main contributions of every research. The results are finally analyzed together and the importance of incorporating the violence among equal couples in the programs of prevention.Keywords: Domestic violence, couples, gay, lesbian, bisexual. Resumen:En este estudio teórico se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática de los principales estudios existentes sobre la violencia en parejas homosexuales y bisexuales. Partimos de la revisión bibliográfica realizara por Richard, Noret y Rivers (2003) en la que se recopilaron un total de 26 estudios desde 1978 hasta 2002, se realiza una nueva revisión en las principales bases de datos durante el periodo 2002-2012, se obtiene un total de 43 estudios sobre violencia en parejas LGB. Se ha analizado el tipo de muestra, el método e instrumento utilizado, así como las principales aportaciones de cada investigación. Finalmente se analizan conjuntamente los resultados y se plantea la importancia de incorporar la violencia entre parejas iguales en los programas de prevención. Introducción:En la sociedad actual la violencia se ha convertido en costumbre y cotidianidad debido a la sobre-exposición transmitida por medio de diversos canales y la aceptación con naturalidad de las conductas violentas (López & Ayala, 2011;Penalva, 2002;Reina, 2010;Rodríguez-Madera & Toro-Alfonso, 2004). En las relaciones homosexuales y bisexuales, al igual que en las heterosexuales, se establecen roles, que en el caso de relaciones formadas por personas del mismo sexo no se establecen en un sistema binario sexual que distinguen funciones preestablecidas para ambas partes. Estos roles asignados dentro de las relaciones de pareja se producen como elemento de ratificación de la posición que ocupan las personas a través de sus acciones (Gomillons & Gioulinao, 2011; Hammack´s, 2005;McKenry et al., 2006;Pitt, 2000;Reina, 2010).La violencia entre parejas del mismo sexo refiere a la conducta violenta que se produce entre personas del mismo sexo dentro de una relación afectivo-sexual. Constituyendo, al igual que en la violencia del hombre dirigida hacia la mujer, el ejercicio de poder con el objetivo de dominar, controlar, coaccionar y/o aislar a la víc-tima (ALADARTE, 2012;Bravo, 2013;Mendieta, 2008;Mujika, 2009; SAAMA, 2013).Al hablar de la violencia entre parejas del mismo sexo el primer escollo es el relativo a la terminología utilizada. Han sido muchos los vocablos a los que se ha recurrido para describirla, como violencia doméstica (Esteves, 2012; Legal Movement, 2005...
