“…Across a wide range of factors, IPV victimization had the strongest association with perpetration. Paralleling findings in victims, IPV perpetration was also associated with several Axis I and II disorders (Kessler et al, 2001;Okuda et al, 2011). These findings remained significant after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics that have been extensively documented to be associated with IPV, highlighting the importance of psychopathology on violence.…”

This study presents data on the association of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and rates of psychiatric disorders, and other correlates. Data were drawn from Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States, 18 years and older, residing in households and group quarters. The sample comprised adults who reported being in a relationship within the past 12 months (N = 25,631). Of these, 1,677 individuals reported perpetrating IPV (4.2% in men, 7.0% in women). Compared to non-IPV perpetrators, IPV perpetrators had greater odds of having any psychiatric disorder, 42.0% and 67.7%, respectively, OR = 2.89, 95% CI [2.51, 3.32]. After adjusting for the effects of nuisance variables, being younger, having an alcohol use disorder, a personality disorder, low levels of social support, and low income were associated with perpetration. Across a wide range of factors, IPV victimization itself had the strongest association with perpetration, AOR = 66.12, 95% CI [55.01, 79.48]. Mental health assessments of IPV perpetrators might offer an opportunity to identify and treat psychiatric disorders and improve the clinical course of conditions that can be affected by ongoing acts of violence.

“…1 Although more common in women, IPV is also be experienced by men. [3][4][5] The prevalence of physical violence against men by a partner was 8% in a US populationbased study 6 compared to 25% among women; however, more recently a Swedish study 7 identified a lifetime prevalence of physical abuse of 49% among men in the general population. Those in same sex relationships are particularly at risk.…”

HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV) epidemics propagate and interact in a syndemic fashion contributing to excess burden of disease and poorer health outcomes. In order to understand the impact of IPV on HIV disease management, a universal screening program was implemented in the Southern Alberta Clinic in May 2009. We evaluated our IPV screening protocol and made recommendations for its usage in HIV care. IPV data obtained from patients were evaluated, supplemented with responses from a subset of in-depth interviews. 35% of 1721 patients reported experiencing IPV. Prevalence was higher among females (46%), Aboriginal Canadians (67%), bisexual male/females (48%), and gay males (35%). Of 158 patients interviewed, only 22% had previously been asked about IPV in any health care setting. Patients were responsive to routine IPV screening emphasizing that referral services need to be easily accessible. 23% of patients disclosing IPV subsequently connected to additional IPV resources after screening. We recommend that universal IPV screening be incorporated within regular HIV clinic care. The IPV survey should be given after trust has been established with regular follow-up every 6-12 months. A referral process to local agencies dealing with IPV must be in place for patients disclosing abuses.

“…IPV is associated with a number of DSM Axis I disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder (Golding, 1999;Okuda et al, 2011). Major depressive disorder and PTSD are among the most commonly diagnosed disorders (Cascardi, O'Leary, & Schlee, 1999).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious, pervasive problem; however, professional literature focused on psychotherapy for women experiencing IPV is limited. This article delineates reasons why there is a dearth of literature on this topic. It then provides guidelines for assessment and practice, focusing on issues and approaches unique to women experiencing IPV. For assessment, the therapist should gather information on the type of IPV the client experiences, the relationship dynamics involved, and the availability of the client's social support network. Discussion of the client's developmental history, including any history of child maltreatment and violence in early dating relationships is also relevant. Assessment of the client's current mental health functioning is essential and will include a consideration of common psychological sequelae that can result from IPV. Treatment should include safety planning as well as reducing minimization of the abuse. In addition, treatment should address potential IPV-related emotion dysregulation and splitting.
