Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and common problem in the relationships of gay men and lesbians, yet interventions to address same‐sex IPV have not been developed and evaluated. This chapter reviews the empirical literature regarding sexual‐minority‐specific and general risk factors for same‐sex IPV and barriers to seeking treatment. Interventions for IPV in heterosexual couples and research on effectiveness of these interventions are also reviewed. Drawing on these reviews, recommendations for culturally tailored interventions to address same‐sex IPV are presented.
