Perceptual biases in social cognition as potential moderators of the relationship between alcohol and intimate partner violence: A review

Differential profiles of drug-addicted patients according to gender and the perpetration of intimate partner violence

“…Consequently, the initial hypothesis was not confirmed. Regardless, the results related to the differences according to IPV perpetration observed in this study support the data obtained in previous studies that address the relationship between IPV and addictive behaviours (Clements and Schumacher, 2010;Easton et al, 2000;Fernández-Montalvo et al, 2011;Moore et al, 2008;Stuart et al, 2009). More specifically, these data support the relationship between the perpetration of IPV and addiction .…”

“…High rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) have been found in drug-addicted patients Clements and Schumacher, 2010;Fernández-Montalvo et al, 2011;Moore et al, 2008;Stuart et al, 2009). According to different studies, between 40% and 60% of people in treatment for drug addiction have histories of episodes of IPV within the year prior to the initiation of treatment (Easton et al, 2000;O'Farrell and Murphy, 1995).…”

Anger dysregulation: driver of violent offending

“…Similarly, among children, Schultz, Izard, and Bear (2004) found 'anger attribution bias' to be associated with teacherreported aggression. In the adult clinical and forensic arena, anger/hostile attribution bias has been linked to intimate partner violence (Clements & Schumacher, 2010) and persecutory symptoms among psychotic patients . Among violent offenders, Copello and Tata (1990) found a 'threat-interpretative bias' alternatively casting it in terms of anger-related appraisal processes.…”

Differential Profile and Treatment Development of Drug-Addicted Patients Depending on Violent Behaviours and/or Criminal Acts

“…From the point of view of violence, several studies have confirmed a strong relationship between the perpetration of violence and drug addiction. [1][2][3][4] Although the causal direction of this relationship has not been identified, 3,[5][6][7][8] all of these studies showed that drug-addicted patients associated with violent behaviors presented with a higher severity of drug addiction as well as a higher level of consumption and a greater number of associated psychopathological symptoms and maladjustment variables. 9,10 Regarding criminal conduct, the relationship between commission of criminal acts and addiction is also well established.…”
