“…Both the weak correlation of 0.06 and a study that did not obtain any significant outcome (McClure and Parmenter, 2017 ) may be explained by the use of the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS, Hazan and Shaver, 1987 ), which might be not enough sensitive as a tool for this specific target group, as claimed by Tasso et al ( 2012 ).…”

Exploring Relationships: A Systematic Review on Intimate Partner Violence and Attachment

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an important public health challenge. In recent years, there has been a greater awareness concerning this phenomenon, its causes and consequences. Due to the relational nature of IPV, attachment theory (Bowlby, 1988) appears a useful framework to read the phenomenon and to better understand its components and its dynamics to provide more precise and tailored interventions in the future.Purpose: To summarize our knowledge of the research concerning IPV and attachment with an aim to better design and implement future research.Methods: Computer database researches were conducted using the following databases: Psychinfo, Psycharticle, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed (all years to the 01/02/2018). Search terms were compiled into two concepts for all database namely Attachment and IPV.Results: After removing the duplicates, a total of 3,598 records was screened, resulting in the identification of 319 full-text articles to be further scrutinized. Upon closer examination, there was consensus that 113 of those studies met the study inclusion criteria. Data was organized considering specifically studies concerning (1) IPV victimization and attachment, (2) IPV perpetration and attachment (both these sections were articulated in Physical, Psychological, and Sexual IPV), and (3) New research (comprising same-sex couples, IPV and attachment in couple contexts and IPV profiles and attachment among perpetrators).Conclusion: A number of studies failed to find significant associations between insecure attachment and IPV victimization or perpetration. Additional research is needed to provide a greater understanding of different IPV forms and to aid in the development of prevention and treatment interventions.

“…Noteworthy, eight studies didn't obtain any significant outcome. However, two of them used the AAS as attachment measure, which is claimed to be not much sensitive for such samples by Tasso et al ( 2012 ).…”

“…Partner violent approaches, such as Sonkins and Dutton's (2002) model, combined with MBT and mindfulness techniques, are particularly suited for the treatment of character pathologies (e.g., primitive defenses, fragile identities, regressive tendencies, and severe personality disorders), frequent occurring patterns among domestically violent persons (Dutton, 2007;Tasso et al, 2012) and those similar in military populations (Rothschild, Dimson, Storaasli, & Clapp, 1997). These approaches and techniques also allow for the intervention of the breadth of ''general'' symptoms (e.g., generalized anxiety, panic disorder, substance abuse, and depression) regularly identified in civilian DV perpetrators (Shorey, Febres, Brasfield, & Stuart, 2012).…”

“…Attachment theory, developed by Bowlby (1969) and Ainsworth (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978), has been productive in elucidating adult relationships and is the subject of extensive scientific and clinical works assessing its centrality to IPV perpetrators (Dutton, 2007; Mahalik, Aldarondo, Gilbert-Gokhale, & Shore, 2005; Mauricio & Gormley, 2001; Tasso, Brown, Griffo, & Maxwell, 2012). The attachment-IPV perpetration marriage illuminates the striking parallel between childhood reactions to disrupted attachment experiences with the domestically violent person.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a destructive relationship pattern within military families. This article provides an overview of IPV offender characteristics at large, followed by military-specific IPV perpetrator data. Next, military cultural factors germane to IPV, relevant perpetrator treatment modalities, and general interventional approaches (e.g., mentalization and mindfulness) applicable to military relational abusers are covered. This integrative review article aims to provide a comprehensive scientifically anchored clinical guidepost to therapeutically intervening with domestically violent military personnel.

“…En estudios como los de Amor, Echeburúa & Loinaz (2009), en los que se avanza en la clasificación tipológica de los hombres violentos contra su pareja, se incide en las características diferenciales de sus vínculos afectivos, estilos cognitivos y relacionales. En relaciones de pareja con conflictos de violencia física y/o psicológica tiende a afianzarse la idea de que la pareja va cambiar, con lo que se tiende a la justificación de la relación conflictiva (Andrade & García, 2009;Aráujo, 2008;López-Zafra & Rodríguez, 2008;Lucariello & Fajardo, 2011Tasso, Brown, Griffo & Maxwell, 2012). En este sentido, como distorsiones cognitivas en agresores de pareja destaca la negación del problema y los mecanismos de culpabilización de la víctima (Loinaz, 2014), más prevalentes que otras diferencias en variables emocionales (estilo de apego, empatía y autoestima); (Loinaz, Echeburúa, & Ullate, 2012).…”

Rec (31 de marzo de 2017) Acept (22 de septiembre de 2018) ResumenLa Dependencia Emocional se describe como un tipo de dependencia sentimental caracterizada por la manifestación de interdependencia relacional. Se propone como objetivo establecer un análisis comparativo de su perfil clínico y psicosocial. Para ello, se han seleccionado 880 participantes, de los cuales 277 están filiados como muestra clínica, 311 corresponden a población general y el resto representan muestras de comparación (adictos y familiares no codependientes). Según los resultados hallados, se define el perfil del dependiente emocional como propio de sujetos que experimentan desajustes afectivos en forma de sentimientos negativos (soledad, tristeza, desánimo, culpa, etc.) y vacío emocional junto a deseos de autodestrucción e inescapabilidad emocional. Presentan una dependencia pura (manera de depender de una persona de forma subordinada), con un anhelo irresistible de estar con la persona de la que se depende. Se abunda en la necesidad de implementar propuestas de gestión emocional y de promoción de la salud relacional. Palabras clave: Dependencia emocional; amor; relaciones de pareja; perspectiva de género. AbstractEmotional dependence is described as a type of sentimental dependency characterized by the manifestation of relational interdependence. Its objective is to establish a comparative analysis of its clinical and psychosocial profile. For this purpose, 880 participants were selected, of whom 277 are classified as clinical samples, 311 correspond to the general population and the rest represent comparison samples (addicts and noncodependent relatives). According to the results found, the profile of the emotional dependent is defined as belonging to subjects who experience affective imbalances in the form of negative feelings (loneliness, sadness, discouragement, guilt, etc.) and emotional emptiness together with desires for self-destruction and emotional inescapability. They present a pure dependence (way of depending on a person in a subordinate way), with an irresistible desire to be with the person on whom one depends. It is necessary to implement proposals for emotional management and promotion of relational health.
