“…En todas las variables psicopatológicas analizadas el nivel de riesgo es tan alto en el maltrato físico como en el psicológico porque las víctimas tienden a percibir este último de forma tanto o más dolorosa que el físico (Echeburúa et al, 1996: Follingstad, Rutledge, Serg, House y Ploek, 1990.…”

RESUMENEl principal objetivo de este trabajo ha sido estudiar diferentes variables sociodemográficas y psicopatológicas en una muestra de 164 victimas de maltrato doméstico en tratamiento. Asimismo se hace una comparación en todas las variables estudiadas entre las víctimas de maltrato físico (A/=93) y las de maltrato psicológico {N=7^). Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la existencia de repercusiones psicopatológicas importantes en el ámbito de la ansiedad -el trastomo de estrés postraumático especialmentey de la depresión y en el funcionamiento en la vida diaria, sin que haya diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos. Se señalan nuevas lineas de investigación en este ámbito.Palabras-clave: Mujeres maltratadas. Trastomo de estrés postraumático. Maltrato físico. Maltrato psicológico. SUMMARYThe aím of this paper has been to assess the sociodemographic and psychopathological variables in a sample of 164 battered women who were under psychological treatment. Scores of both physical (N=93) and psychological (N=71) battered women were compared. The results showed a high level of anxiety -posttraumatic stress disorder-and depression symptoms, as well as a general maladaptative level to daily life activities. Differences between the two groups were not observed. Some suggestions in order to further research are pointed out.

“…This distinction theoretically contextualizes aggression in community samples (typically situational couple violence) in relation to more traditional notions of domestic violence (i.e., intimate terrorism), and underscores the importance of examining both husband and wife aggression. This study will also examine emotional or psychological aggression, which some women have reported being even more upsetting than physical abuse they have experienced (Follingstad, et al, 1990), which causes harm, even in the absence of physical aggression (Marshal, 1996;Pico-Alfonso et al, 2006;Taft et al, 2006), and which victims have identified as a primary variable in the assessment of their safety (Cattaneo, 2007). Although most research on emotional aggression has focused on female victims, consistent gender differences have not been found (Coker, et al, 2002;Hamby & Sugarman, 1999;Hines & Saudino, 2003;Swan & Snow, 2002).…”

This study uses three-level generalized Hierarchical Linear Modeling to examine trajectories of husbands' and wives' physical and emotional aggression over three assessments and the effects of years since marriage. In this community sample of 118 couples, physical aggression significantly decreased over time (43% per year). Emotional aggression did not significantly change over time, but trajectories significantly differed for husbands (3% increase) versus wives (10% decrease). Longer duration marriages had lower physical aggression and, for wives only, lower emotional aggression. Aggression trajectories showed considerable variability: 44-55% of physically aggressive spouses desisted from one assessment to the next; 5-12% reported start-ups in physical aggression. Discussion addresses the role of gender and type of aggression in aggression trajectories. Keywordsintimate partner violence; psychological aggression; spousal abuse; growth curve analysis; longitudinal change Data on the prevalence, incidence, and seriousness of intimate partner violence call attention to the importance of understanding trajectories of partner violence. Estimates indicate 25% of women and 8% of men are physically assaulted or raped by an intimate partner at some time during their life (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Other samples reveal that as many as 21% of couples report intimate physical aggression each year (McDonald, Jouriles, Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano, & Green, 2006). Research has shown that intimate relationship aggression has deleterious mental and physical health consequences for women (Bonomi et al, 2006;Coker, et al., 2002;Loxton, Schofield, & Hussain, 2006), as well as some negative health consequences for men (Coker, et al., 2002;Simonelli & Ingram, 1998;Taft et al, 2006). Assessments of intimate physical aggression based on lifetime incidence or 12-month prevalence data fail to capture the variability in partner aggression across time, particularly for couples in long-term relationships. The present study examines husbands' and wives' use of relationship aggression over three time points, providing information about the stability and trajectory of aggression, while calling attention to the potential fallibility of defining a couple as aggressive based on one time point. The study also examines the impact of years since marriage on aggression trajectories, thereby accounting for stage in relationship development on aggression.Although female victims are often the focus of intimate violence research, the considerable rates of aggression towards men (e.g. Archer, 2000) suggest the need to evaluate both male and female aggression. Clearly women suffer more severe consequences due to partner Address correspondence to: Katrina Vickerman, Department of Psychology, SGM 930, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, 90089-1061 or email: E-mail: vickerma@usc.edu.

“…Ce qui signifie qu'une forme de violence peut éventuellement conduire à une autre ou que plusieurs formes de violence peuvent coexister. De nombreuses observations empiriques ont montré que la violence physique est souvent précédée et accompagnée de violence psychologique et de violence sexuelle (Regroupement provincial des maisons d'héber-gement et de transition pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale, 1987 ;Follingstad et al, 1990 ;Rinfret-Raynor et Cantin, 1994).…”

Cet article expose la méthodologie à la base des projets pancanadiens qui, depuis 1980, ont tenté de mesurer l'étendue de la violence faite aux femmes: les travaux du Conseil consultatif canadien sur la situation de la femme, de l'Université Carleton, du Comité canadien sur la violence faite aux femmes et de Statistique Canada. Les principales critiques auxquelles chacune de ces études a donné lieu sont rapportées. L'article se termine en faisant ressortir l'opposition entre le concept de violence utilisé dans ces études et celui généralement véhiculé dans les médias et il constate que ces deux définitions de la violence conduisent à des approches de prévention différentes.This paper reviews pan-Canadian projects since 7980 that have attempted to measure the extent of violence against women, discussing the methods used and reporting the main criticisms of each. The studies were conducted by the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women, Carleton University, the Canadian Panel on Violence against Women, and Statistics Canada. It contrasts the concept of violence used in the studies with the one generally conveyed by the media, and concludes that these two ways of defining violence lead to different approaches to prevention
