The Role of PTSD in Bi-directional Intimate Partner Violence in Military and Veteran Populations: A Research Review

Abstract: Evidence supporting the higher prevalence of PTSD linked to combat-related trauma in military personnel and veteran populations is well-established. Consequently, much research has explored the effects that combat related trauma and the subsequent PTSD may have on different aspects of relationship functioning and adjustment. In particular, PTSD in military and veterans has been linked with perpetrating intimate partner violence (IPV). New research and theoretical perspectives suggest that in order to respond e… Show more

“…However, a diagnosis of PTSD was only positively associated with past-year IPV use, not IPV experience, contrary to evidence demonstrating that IPV experiences are associated with PTSD in samples across gender . The associations of PTSD symptoms with aggression and violence perpetration is well established across veteran, civilian, epidemiological, and clinical samples and bidirectional IPV samples . Our findings emphasize that treatment for IPV use must be both trauma-informed and focused on underlying mechanisms between PTSD and violence perpetration in relationships, such as deficits in social information processing (ie, the cognitive-emotional process for interpreting and responding to external stimuli), akin to the IPV use intervention implemented in the VHA .…”

“…While research on the topic is limited, we have reason to believe that anxiety acts as a possible risk factor for perpetration of IPV [ 20 , 29 , 30 ]. Various aspects of negative emotionality (i.e., anxiety, anger, and hostility) are shared risk factors between IPV and general criminal behaviors [ 31 ].…”

“…Several studies have shown a significant association between trauma, PTSD, and aggressive behavior [ 334 ]. For example, there are reports indicating that individuals with a history of trauma and PTSD are significantly more likely to engage in intimate partner violence than those without trauma or PTSD [ 335 , 336 ]. In another study employing first-episode psychosis with a history of trauma, not only did researchers find that trauma was associated with depression severity and suicide ideation, but they also showed that it was linked with aggression, aggression severity, and the type of aggression [ 337 ].…”
