Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) research has evolved since 2003.
  • Single-gender treatment for IPV shows limited effectiveness.
  • Subtypes of abusive relationships, like situational couple violence, have been identified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review changes in the research literature on intimate partner violence (IPV).
  • To examine the rationale for systemic treatment of IPV.
  • To assess the effectiveness of systemic interventions for IPV.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of research on intimate partner violence.
  • Analysis of findings on the effectiveness of different treatment approaches.
  • Examination of outcome research on systemic interventions.

Main Results:

  • Systemic treatment rationale is supported by research.
  • Situational couple violence involves reciprocal use of violence.
  • Systemic interventions decrease IPV incidences and risk factors for carefully screened couples.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic interventions are effective for reducing IPV in couples committed to staying together.
  • Further research and treatment implications are discussed.
  • Systemic approaches offer a promising alternative to single-gender treatments.
