“…They also showed significantly more evidence of denial of their behavior, as seen both by their decreased level of interpartner agreement about their violence and by their elevated scores on the two PAI validity measures used in this study. These findings are consistent with the observations of Caetano et al (2002) and others who report increased disparity of report in Latino couples. Whether these men's denial was due to a lack of awareness of the cultural unacceptability of violence within this country or to a lack of psychological sophistication, their denial is undoubtedly a challenge in their treatment.…”

“…While English-and Spanish-speakers did not differ in their agreement with their partners about past psychological aggression, Spanish-speakers were much more likely to be discrepant from their partners with respect to lifetime physical aggression (p = .03), lifetime injury (p = .006), lifetime sexual coercion (p < .001), lifetime psychological aggression by the female partner (p = .027), and lifetime physical aggression by the female partner (p < .001). Thus, consistent with other literature on domestic violence among Latino couples, there appears to be significantly less consensus among Latino couples than among Anglo couples (Caetano et al, 2002). On the other hand, female partners of English-speakers and Spanish-speakers did not report any difference with respect to their perceptions of the dangerousness of the men on the DAS.…”

“…Moreover, the lower rate of partner concordance about the occurrence of DV within Hispanic than non-Hispanic couples (Caetano, Schafer, Field, & Nelson, 2002) suggests an even higher prevalence of precontemplation within this group. While predictors of attrition from batterer intervention programs have been identified for English-speaking Latinos, these predictors have not been identified for Spanish-speaking Latinos (Hudak, 2001).…”

“…Higher rates of DV among minority ethnic groups have been consistently observed (Caetano, Schafer, & Cunradi, 2001;Kessler, Molnar, Feurer, & Appelbaum, 2001), with a greater risk of injury from DV in Hispanics than non-Hispanics (Duncan, Stayton, & Hall, 1999). Moreover, the lower rate of partner concordance about the occurrence of DV within Hispanic than non-Hispanic couples (Caetano, Schafer, Field, & Nelson, 2002) suggests an even higher prevalence of precontemplation within this group.…”

A Stages of Change (SOC) treatment approach, supplemented by Motivational Interviewing techniques (Miller & Rollnick, 2002), was compared with a standard cognitive-behavioral therapy gender-reeducation (CBTGR) approach for its effectiveness in reducing men's violence against their partners. A total of 528 male batterers from the Montgomery County, Maryland Abused Persons Program were randomly assigned to 49 26-week groups in either the SOC or CBTGR condition. English-speaking and Spanish-speaking groups were conducted in both treatment conditions. While certain differences emerged between English-and Spanish-speakers and their partners, men in the two treatment conditions (and their partners) did not differ with respect to demographics, lifetime violence, psychopathology, multiple admissions, histories of trauma, or source of referral as a function of their assignment to different treatment conditions. Differences between women who were successfully contacted for follow-up and those who were not were minimal, indicating the generalizability of victim follow-up reports.Self-reported aggression at post-treatment was unrelated to treatment condition. However, based on victim follow-up reports, the SOC curriculum was more effective than standard treatment in reducing women's risk for physical aggression, especially among English-speakers. The SOC condition was particularly effective for first-time offenders, for men who were court-ordered to treatment and for men in an earlier underlying stage of change. On the other hand, the SOC condition was no more effective than the CBTGR condition in reducing the violence of men with multiple admissions, suggesting the need for warning their victims and for using a coordinated community response. The SOC condition was also not effective for men who were self-referred to treatment, presumably because it did not quickly provide the anger-management and conflict resolution skills these men were seeking. The two treatments did not differ in rates of attendance (either number of sessions attended or treatment completion), working alliance or group cohesion. Different predictors of attendance did emerge between the two conditions. Moreover, blind ratings of audiotapes of sessions significantly differentiated the two conditions. Specific treatment considerations for Spanish-speakers were explored as was the necessity of attending to the trauma histories of both men and their partners. Finally, the reactions of therapists working with the SOC curriculum were described as were the limitations of this study and suggestions for future research. It was concluded that within the context of these limitations, this project allowed a fairly rigorous but also realistic test of the usefulness of SOC treatment in reducing men's risk for violence.

“…In total, women's amount perpetrations of psychological aggression was found to be greater than the sums of victimization by psychological. Therefore 1,635 couples were requested to complete the CTS in the study by Caetano, Schafter, Field, and Nelson (2002). The study yielded that the agreement in relation to mutual partner violence was about 40%.…”

Several studies conducted on female aggression (physical and psychological) are the primary concern of the review done in this paper. This article contains three parts -the first part focuses on the findings which show that the rate of aggression for male and female are equal, while the second part focuses on the research that reveal the rate of physical aggression is higher in women than men. The third part concerns on studies which have shown higher level of psychological aggression in women compared to men. According to the existing literatures, the rate of female aggression is equal to those of men, and in some studies, the rates of physical and psychological aggression among women are found to be higher than among men. Thus, it is concluded that the rate of women aggression is not lower than men, but it is either equal to or higher than men.
