Men with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) show more executive dysfunction. This finding is crucial for developing effective intervention programs for partner-abusive men with TBI.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Previous studies indicate a high prevalence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in men who perpetrate partner abuse.
  • Executive dysfunctions are associated with both TBI and aggressive behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate findings on TBI prevalence in abusive men.
  • To investigate the link between TBI and executive dysfunction in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed 38 men convicted of violence and undergoing partner abuse treatment.
  • Compared 22 men with self-reported TBI history to 16 men without TBI history on psychological measures.

Main Results:

  • The TBI group performed worse on current IQ and two executive functioning measures compared to the non-TBI group.

  • No significant differences were found in age, pre-morbid IQ, self-esteem, or alcohol use between groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Executive dysfunction is present in partner-abusive men with a history of TBI.
    • Findings have implications for tailoring intervention programs for this specific group of offenders.
