“…Given the considerable attention concerning perpetrator mental health issues and substance abuse in the literature (e.g., see Andrade, O’Neill, & Diener, 2009; McMurran, 2017), more careful questioning in these areas was warranted. Substance abuse emerged in the data as frequenting the violence.…”

Cognitive–behavioral treatment (CBT) has shown promising results in reducing aggression in intimate partner violence (IPV) relationships. A cornerstone of effective CBT is the assessment and measure of cognitions, behaviors, interactions, and conditions surrounding the violence. Unfortunately, there is limited perpetrator-based research that focuses on these aspects of IPV. The purpose of this study was to question perpetrators about the behaviors, interactions, cognitions, and conditions that precipitate and maintain abuse. Such information, along with similar data collected in a companion study of victims, is intended to assist in better understanding perpetrator violence, which can serve as the foundation of effective cognitive–behavioral (CB) IPV assessment, measurement, and treatment. Twelve heterosexual perpetrators receiving treatment for IPV completed structured audiotaped interviews focusing on CB phenomena, that is, the cognitions, behaviors, feelings, interactions, and conditions perpetrators have before, during, and after an IPV incident. Transcripts were coded and analyzed to develop a broad categorized list of discrete IPV phenomena over time. Among the findings relating to violent incidents was indication that despite the progression of abuse that compels perpetrators uncontrollably toward a violent episode, both partners simultaneously engage in numerous preventive attempts. The findings are ultimately intended to contribute to an instrument or treatment assessment method that can more accurately measure IPV phenomena emphasizing core CB concepts.

“…Leonard et al . , McMurran and Crane and Easton urge the field to move beyond these debates to develop integrated intervention responses to address both issues together to improve outcomes for victims and perpetrators alike. There remains a need for interventions to improve safety for survivors.…”

“…If these opposing perspectives can be negotiated, combining substance use and IPV content into the same programme has been theorised as a way forward (Gilchrist and Hegarty, 2017; McMurran, 2017). Men perpetrating IPV and use substances are often stipulated by courts to separate programmes generating poor outcomes (Easton et al , 2007b).…”

“…Men perpetrating IPV and use substances are often stipulated by courts to separate programmes generating poor outcomes (Easton et al , 2007b). Combined programmes may potentially improve attendance and completion of treatment (Gilchrist and Hegarty, 2017; McMurran, 2017) and can bridge the gap between sectors as it requires stable partnerships to exchange expertise (Meyer et al , 2020). Although there is advocacy from practitioners, clients (Meyer et al , 2020) and researchers for combined programmes (Gilchrist and Hegarty, 2017), there remains a paucity of research on its implementation in real-world contexts.…”

Purpose Substance use plays a significant role in the perpetration of much intimate partner violence (IPV). However, responses to these two issues are rarely integrated. Single focus programme responses can lead to poor outcomes for men as well as their families experiencing these intersecting issues. This scoping paper aims to establish the current state of knowledge on contextual factors influencing the development and implementation of combined programmes. Design/methodology/approach Four electronic databases were systematically searched in May 2021 and December 2021. Twenty-one peer-reviewed studies reporting on ten programmes were included. Findings This scoping review revealed that combined programme responses are an underdeveloped area of research and evaluation. The limited evidence base indicated systemic barriers hindering services’ capacity to expand this field of work, affecting implementation and outcomes. Support is required from the wider service systems to intervene in men’s perpetration of IPV in the context of substance use. Practical implications Findings in this scoping review demonstrate the importance of fostering a coordinated and collective response to IPV in the context of substance use. Combined programmes have the potential to reduce siloed practices, enabling more holistic responses for men with intersecting issues. However, researchers and policymakers must also address contextual issues hindering or enabling combined programmes’ implementation and development. Originality/value Mapping the evidence based on combined programmes provides direction for further development and research to expand this field of inquiry.
