“…In fact, this might be the result of failing to process available environmental information to foresee the consequences of their behavior (Sun et al, 2015). This is congruent with the proposal of social processing information, which establishes that IPV might be explained, at least in part, by the existence of hostile attributions, marital distortions, and cognitive deficits, among others, in IPV perpetrators (Agnew & South, 2014;Gracia et al, 2020;Murphy et al, 2014;Taft et al, 2017). These cognitive alterations or misattributions in interpreting marital situations or conflicts might facilitate IPV perpetration under certain ambiguous circumstances.…”

Purpose Current interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators are designed to reduce IPV recidivism by treating risk factors and increasing protective factors. However, these interventions pay less attention to cognitive functioning in IPV perpetrators and how these variables interfere with the future risk of recidivism. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to compare the effectiveness of Standard Intervention Programs for men who perpetrate IPV [SIP] + cognitive training vs SIP + placebo training in promoting cognitive improvements and reducing recidivism. Furthermore, we also aimed to assess whether changes in the risk of recidivism would be related to cognitive changes after the intervention. Method IPV perpetrators who agreed to participate were randomly allocated to receive SIP + cognitive training or SIP + placebo training. Several cognitive variables were assessed before and after the interventions with a complete battery of neuropsychological tests assessing processing speed, memory, attention, executive functions, and emotion decoding abilities. Moreover, we also assessed the risk of recidivism. Results Our data pointed out that only the IPV perpetrators who received the SIP + cognitive training improved their processing speed and cognitive flexibility after this intervention. Furthermore, these participants presented the lowest risk of recidivism after the intervention. Nonetheless, cognitive improvements and reductions in the risk of recidivism after the intervention were unrelated. Conclusions Our study reinforces the importance of implementing cognitive training to reduce risk of recidivism after SIP. Hence, these results might encourage professionals to incorporate neuropsychological variables in IPV intervention programs.

“…Consistent with the social information processing model of IPA, compared to nonviolent men, men who use IPA attribute more negative and hostile intentions to female partners, show an emotional bias toward anger, select less-socially competent responses to relationship challenges, and have more positive expectations for use of aggression (Holtzworth-Munroe, 1992; Murphy, Norwood, & Poole, 2014). Our trauma-informed social information processing model extends this work to implicate trauma, and trauma-related problems such as PTSD, as drivers of social information processing deficits (Taft et al, 2015).…”

“…IPV is a serious health epidemic that is a contributing factor to traumatic physical injuries and mental health conditions for perpetrators and victims (Murphy et al, 2014). Understanding disease beyond diagnosis, to include the biological, psychological, and social facets of etiology, has revolutionized modern understanding of disease (Havelka et al, 2009).…”

Approximately 50% of both men and women will experience emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime—a form of violence highly associated with other forms of IPV—making it important to develop further understanding of for assessment and treatment purposes. The bio-psycho-social model was used to guide the study. Utilizing data from 181 studies, yielding 348 effect sizes, we conducted a meta-analysis examining mental and physical health correlates with emotional IPV perpetration and victimization. We also examined if mental and physical health correlates were significantly stronger for emotional IPV perpetration or victimization, as well as if correlates were stronger for men or women. Suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, borderline personality disorder (PD), psychological distress, physical pain, trauma, anger, shame, poor physical health, antisocial PD, and somatic symptoms were significantly associated with emotional IPV victimization. Borderline PD, narcissism, emotional dysregulation, anger, post-traumatic stress, antisocial PD, psychopathy, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and trauma were significantly associated with emotional IPV perpetration. Anger, emotional dysregulation, and psychopathology were stronger correlates for emotional IPV perpetration compared to victimization, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological distress were stronger correlates for victimization. PTSD and suicidal ideation were stronger correlates of IPV victimization for women than men, and anger was a significantly stronger correlate of IPV perpetration for women than men. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach when working with victims and perpetrators of IPV, focusing on the importance of taking all aspects of the bio-psycho-social model into account.
