Legal and psychological perspectives on same-sex domestic violence: A multisystemic approach.

Abstract: This article presents the legal and psychological aspects of same-sex domestic violence (SSDV) in a multisystemic model that encompasses family systems, friends and the gay-lesbian-bisexual communities, legal systems, and mental and physical health systems, encouraging family psychologists to be the leaders of reform. The current status of relevant laws is integrated into the literature on SSDV, which includes prevalence, myths regarding SSDV, help-seeking behavior of victims, and similarities and differences … Show more

“…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.…”

“…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.…”
