“…Researchers (McCollum & Stith, 2008; Stith & McCollum, 2011; Stith et al, 2012) have demonstrated that conjoint treatment for IPV can be both safe and effective (Antunes-Alves & de Stefano, 2014; Stith & McCollum, 2011). With careful screening to ensure IPV is not severe, rigorous training of providers, and ongoing risk assessment and safety planning, couples can reduce IPV and improve their relationship through enhanced communication and problem-solving skills (Antunes-Alves & de Stefano, 2014; Armenti & Babcock, 2016; Hurless & Cottone, 2018). A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of conjoint therapies for IPV showed that conjoint interventions resulted in significantly greater reductions in IPV than did individual treatments and control conditions (Karakurt et al, 2016).…”

Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) incurs significant public health consequences. Understanding risk markers can accelerate prevention and response efforts, important in settings like Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where resources are scarce. In this study, four databases were searched to identify studies that examined risk markers for male-to-female physical IPV. With application of the socioecological model, we analyzed 11 risk markers for male physical IPV perpetration (with 71 effect sizes) and 16 risk markers for female physical IPV victimization (with 131 effect sizes) in SSA from 51 studies. For male IPV perpetration, we found medium-to-large effect sizes for six risk markers: perpetrating emotional abuse and sexual IPV, witnessing parental IPV, being abused as a child, cohabitating (not married), and exhibiting controlling behaviors. We found small effect sizes for substance use. Employment, age, marital status, and education were not significant risk markers. For female IPV victimization, a medium effect size was found for post-traumatic stress symptoms. Small effect sizes were found for reporting depressive symptoms, being abused as a child, witnessing parental IPV, and reporting drug and alcohol use. Rural residence, approval of violence, length of relationship, income, education, employment, age, marital status, and religiosity were not significant risk markers. Findings highlight opportunities for screening and intervention at the couple level, show the need to test and incorporate interventions for IPV in mental health treatment, and emphasize the importance of further research on sociodemographic risk markers and the interventions that target them.

“…Even though couple therapy is not encouraged, conjoint couple therapy is an appropriate intervention for IPV if certain conditions are present as determined by the clinician. 23 Couple therapists should undergo structured training in systemic therapy and have practice skills and cultural competency while dealing with cases of IPV. Conjoint couple therapy should be taken into consideration only after careful assessment of the appropriateness of couple therapy for that particular couple and after taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of both partners.…”

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) or Domestic Violence (DV) affects the mental health of women. Systemic family therapy has been found to help bring change in a couple's relationship and the cessation of violence in the relationship, provided both couples are motivated by the therapy to preserve the marital relationship. This article presents a case of offering brief tailor-made individual intervention as well as couple therapy for a woman with depression experiencing violence.

“…Critics also argue that conjoint approaches encourage honest and open disclosure, which, in turn, could lead to conflict in therapy sessions that could escalate to violence outside of therapy. However, given the interactional and bidirectional nature of some types of violence, carefully screened and controlled partner-involved treatments may have advantages for couples who engage in non-severe forms of IPV [13].…”

Substance Abuse and Partner Violence: The Case for Couples Therapy

Intimate partner violence continues to be a profound public health concern, with 25% of women and 10% of men report experiencing intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Many cases of intimate partner violence go undetected and untreated, however, identifying different ways of conceptualizing violence and alternative modalities of treatment may provide clinicians with the opportunity to intervene at higher rates. Given the men admitted to treatment for substance misuse problem report high rates of partner violence, this setting may provide an important point of contact for identification and treatment. Research using Behavioral Couples Therapy address non-severe forms of violence within a substance abuse treatment setting with promising outcomes. Future research is needed to identify the best technique to manage more severe forms of violence and in which settings.
