Positions constructed for a female therapist in male batterers' treatment group
2012
How the gender of the therapist affects the treatment of intimately violent men has been little researched. In this study we examined the positions that batterers construct for a female therapist in batterers' group treatment. The data consisted of five videotaped therapy groups for male batterers. Three positions of a woman were constructed: woman in general; woman as spouse and woman personally as herself. These positions were often based on a constructed difference between men and women. The female therapist repositioned herself to diminish the difference constructed between the genders and to make fear of the spouse visible. peerReviewed
Los predictores clave de la reincidencia en participantes en un programa de intervención para agresores de pareja: un análisis de supervivencia
2020
ABSTRACT Strategies to reduce intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) can be targeted at different levels. Batterer intervention programs (BIPs) are among the main treatment approaches for IPVAW offenders. The most common outcome used in the evaluation of BIP effectiveness is recidivism. Efforts to increase BIP effectiveness in reducing recidivism should focus on key predictive variables of this outcome. The aim of this study was to identify key predictors of official recidivism from a large set of variables drawn from a sample of IPVAW offenders court-mandated to a community-based BIP (N = 393), with a follow-up period of between 0 and 69 months. To this end, a survival analysis wa…
Recidivism risk reduction assessment in batterer intervention programs: A keyindicator for program efficacy evaluation
2014
AbstractThe evidence available on the efficacy of batterer intervention programs is still limited. The aim of the present study is twofold: (1) to analyze change in a set of intervention targets and their association with reconviction in a batterer intervention program implemented in Spain, and (2) to analyze pre-treatment participants’ characteristics linked with an increased likelihood of change. The research design was a prospective longitudinal study with measures obtained in two points in time (pre-treatment and post-treatment). Self-report measures, trained program staff assessment, and reconviction official records were used. Participants consisted of 212 offenders participating in a…
The Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (WI-IPVAW) Scale: Development and Validation of the Long and Short V…
2018
Willingness to intervene when one becomes aware of a case of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) reflects the level of tolerance and acceptance of this type of violence in society. Increasing the likelihood of intervention to help victims of IPVAW is also a target for prevention strategies aiming to increase informal social control of IPVAW. In this study, we present the development and validation of the Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence (WI-IPVAW) scale. We report data for both the long and short versions of the scale. We analyzed the latent structure, the reliability and validity of the WI-IPVAW across four samples (N = 1648). Factor analyses suppo…

Psicodinamica delle relazioni violente. Aspetti psicologici, clinici e sociali
2016
Gli studi sulla famiglia in ambito psico-sociale hanno, negli ultimi due decenni, ripetutamente ribadito la necessità di affrontarne l’analisi e l’osservazione a partire dalla complessità, multiprocessualità e multiformità delle nuove configurazioni familiari, che rendono imprescindibile utilizzare la «pluralità come principio metodologico». La sfida che le attuali forme familiari pongono a clinici e ricercatori riguarda innanzitutto la molteplicità di elementi trasformativi che ne hanno fortemente segnato l’identità e che si declinano nelle dinamiche interne e nella relazione con l’ambiente esterno, anch’esso in veloce mutamento.
Relational dynamics in same-sex couples with Intimate Partner Violence: coming out as a protective factor
2014
The aim of this article is to participate in the debate on the phenomenon of violence in intimate relationships; a path of dominance and control, often accompanied by abusive behaviour and power. In particular, we would like to refer to violence in same-sex relationships, where this important role can be detected both from the relational asymmetry of the partner and also from the threat of a possible outing. It is a widespread phenomenon, yet not sufficiently taken into account, due to the invisibility in which homosexuals live. The inability to come out, is often hampered by sexual prejudices present in many societies – a situation that creates conditions for a lack of a social support net…
L’attaccamento nei nuclei familiari esposti a violenza domestica
2018
Un contesto di ricerca che consente di analizzare la continuità dell’attaccamento intergenerazionale tra madri e figli in condizioni di IPV è rappresentato dalle strutture residenziali che offrono protezione alle donne e ai loro figli. In questo studio abbiamo voluto analizzare la qualità dei legami di attaccamento in nuclei familiari formati da madri e figli con esperienze di IPV; inoltre, abbiamo considerato le diverse tipologie di violenza subita sia dalle madri che dai figli, distinguendo tra violenza psicologica e violenza fisica. Allo studio hanno partecipato 16 nuclei familiari ospiti di cinque case dedicate all’ospitalità di donne e minori vittime di abuso e di maltrattamento.

Violenza e violenze: nomina sunt...
2022
This contribution, in addition to identifying some stages of the process of recognition of Intimate Partner Violence, seeks to highlight the reasons for the existing hiatus between the social rejection of violence against women and its constant escalation. The recent historical reconstruction that will be proposed will take into consideration some developments of this phenomenon, in order to more fully outline its current directions.
