“…In addition to substance use disorder, APD is an important risk factor for the perpetration of physical partner violence (Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart 1994;Reingle et al 2014;Taft et al 2010). Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) contend that poor self-control is the strongest predictor of criminal behavior.…”

The current study examined how antisocial personality disorder (APD) and substance use disorder contributed to partners' reports of physical partner violence among single and dual substance-abusing couples. Participants were 69 heterosexual couples entering treatment in which one or both partners met criteria for substance use disorder. APD diagnosis of the male partner was linked to significantly higher maleto-female and female-to-male perpetration of physical partner violence and victimization. Female partner's APD diagnosis was associated with women's reports of victimization by their male partners. Dual substance use diagnosis emerged as a moderator, in which the effect of men's APD diagnosis on men's perpetration of physical partner violence and victimization was significantly reduced if both partners had substance use disorder. Findings underscore the importance of both partners' APD diagnosis and substance use status for understanding physical partner violence among single and dual substance-abusing couples.Keywords Physical partner violence . Antisocial personality disorder . Drug use disorder . Alcohol use disorder Physical partner violence is a serious public health problem. Estimates from the National Intimate Partner and SexualViolence survey indicate that 31.5 % of women and 27.5 % of men have been the victim of physical violence by a relationship partner during their lifetime (Breiding et al. 2014). Although these estimates are high, physical partner violence is typically found to be between 50 % and 65 % of those entering substance abuse treatment (e.g., Burnette et al. 2008;Chermack et al. 2001;Chermack et al. 2010;Kaufmann et al. 2014; see Murphy and Ting 2010, for a review). Antisocial personality disorder (APD), a pervasive disorder with onset prior to age 15 characterized by breaking the law, lying and manipulation, impulsive and irresponsible behavior, and anger and aggression (American Psychiatric Association 2013), is a robust predictor of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration for men with (e.g., Taft et al. 2010) and without (e.g., Stuart et al. 2006) substance use disorder. Studies that have examined associations between physical partner violence, APD, and drug and alcohol disorders typically focus on substance-abusing men or on one partners' report of substance use, personality traits, and IPV. In the present study, we investigated associations between physical partner violence and APD among single and dual substance-abusing treatment-seeking couples. Literature ReviewSubstance Use Disorders, Physical Partner Violence, and Antisocial Personality Disorder For both men (see Foran and O'Leary 2008 for a review; Jose et al. 2014; see Murphy and Ting 2010 for a review) and women (Stuart et al. 2013) alcohol consumption and disorders have a robust association with physical partner violence. For instance, interviews with men with alcohol use disorders and their partners revealed that blood alcohol concentration and

“…Stuart et al found 34% of women arrested for domestic violence suffered from Generalised Anxiety disorder, 44% suffered from PtSD and 28% met diagnostic criteria for Panic disorder (Stuart, Moore, Gordon, Ramsey, & Kahler, 2006). Posttraumatic stress disorder has been shown to be associated with perpetration of IPV, victimisation within violent relationships as well as both perpetration and victimisation among partners within mutually violent relationships (Reingle, Jennings, Connell, Businelle, & Chartier, 2014). Premarital diagnoses of major depression, generalised anxiety disorder, alcohol dependence and non-affective psychoses have been shown to predict perpetration of IPV among men but not among women (Kessler, Molnar, Feurer, & Appelbaum, 2001).…”

“…They suggest that there are some men who have severe psychopathology such as borderline and antisocial personality disorders often co-morbid with mood instability and substance abuse and are more often the men seen in clinical samples of male abusers. However, the majority of men who are involved in IPV may have psychological problems, which might include anger, jealousy, over-control, dependency, poor self-esteem, poor coping skills, poor tolerance for stress and behavioral impulsivity, but not necessarily at clinical levels (Holtzworth-Munroe, Bates, Reingle et al, 2014a;Smutzler, & Sandin, 1997).…”

A Longitudinal Analysis of the Criminal Careers of Intimate Partner Violence Offender Subtypes: Results From a Prospective Survey of Males

Using data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, a prospective longitudinal survey of more than 400 males in the United Kingdom followed from age 8 years to age 48 years, we investigated the role of Cluster B personality traits and the association with violent offending groups based on a typology theory of male intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators: those who committed family-only violence and the generally violent offender. We also considered whether offending/violent groups could be predicted using risk factors measured in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Our findings suggest that those men who are violent both within and outside the home (the generally violent men) are distinguished from those who are involved in IPV within the home only. The differences appear to be more in degree than in kind. We discuss these findings in relation to the idea of specific interventions and policy.
