“…In addition, commonly there were minors involved (85.3%), and in most cases they had witnessed DV episodes (87.8%); indeed, many women identified in their children, symptoms suggestive of anxiety (60%), disruptive behavior (27.7%), sleep disorders (25.4%), depressive humor (23%), learning problems (18.3%), and eating disorders (11.9%), which are some of the expected consequences of child exposure to DV (Cannon, Bonomi, Anderson, & Rivara, 2009; Enander & Holmberg, 2008; Millett, Kohl, Jonson-Reid, Drake, & Petra, 2013; Watt & Scrandis, 2013), with deleterious effects to their well-being (Mc Elroy & Hevey, 2014). Regarding victim’s risk factors, our data are again similar to current literature (Covington, 2008; Macy, Renz, & Pelino, 2013; Millett et al, 2013; Oberleitner, Mandel, & Easton, 2013; Testa, 2004; Testa, Livingston, & Leonard, 2003; Watt & Scrandis, 2013): (a) history of alcohol misuse (S1: 3.2%, S2 = 43.6%; p < .001)—The S1 rate may be underestimated due to feeling guilty for DV, whereas in S2, it is possible that women with higher educational level may not see this aspect as a justification for male violence, reporting it; (b) history of abuse in childhood (26.3%); (c) history of psychiatric disorders (21.8%); and (d) history of drug abuse (13.1%), though substance abuse, in general, further than being considered as risk factor of DV, can also be triggered by it (Covington, 2008; Testa et al, 2003).…”

“…As to perceived causes for the male violent behavior by women, alcohol abuse was considered the main cause of DV in both samples; this is a controversial topic in literature (Bosch-Fiol & Ferrer-Perez, 2012; Eckhardt, 2007; Macy et al, 2013; Oberleitner et al, 2013; Pereira et al, 2013; Testa, 2004; Worden & Carlson, 2005). The second main cause was, in S1, the existence of another person in their partner’s life (22.2%) and in S2, jealousy (14.7%), as referred by other authors (Bosch-Fiol & Ferrer-Perez, 2012; Esqueda & Harrison, 2005; Worden & Carlson, 2005).…”

Despite the occurrence of encouraging political and social changes in the past few years, many beliefs about women's role in intimate relationships persist, influencing their response to domestic violence (DV). This study aims to analyze the influence of recent policies against DV in Portugal, concerning particularly intimate partner violence against women and their perceptions about the victimization process. Two samples of women (n = 126 each) reporting an aggressive act allegedly perpetrated by the current or former male partner were interviewed with a hiatus of 5 years (before and after some most relevant policy updates). Results suggest a positive influence of the recent policies against DV. Many significant and encouraging changes were found in the more recent women sample (S2) relatively to the first sample (S1) regarding their information, awareness, perceptions, and attitudes toward DV. They seem to show less tolerance and endurance to DV, placing responsibility on the offender, as well as seem more empowered to report. In S2, there was a decrease in the acceptance of violent behaviors as normal and of reasons to explain violence; the fears, shame, and helplessness about DV; the elapsed time between the beginning of the abuse and its report; and the prevalence of more severe types of physical abuse. In S2, there was an increase on the acknowledgment of DV as a crime, the number of reports in cases without cohabitation, the report of psychological abuses, and the feeling of safety and assurance while reporting.

“…Oberleitner et al 15 añaden un elemento más a tener en cuenta en la actitud violenta, que sería la ira, a la que definen como "la forma de percibir, interpretar y responder a determinados eventos que suscitan una reacción emocional". Basándose en lo anterior, consideran que el tratamiento que reduce la ira puede igualmente implicar una reducción en el comportamiento violento.…”

“…El estudio de Oberleitner et al 15 fue realizado en una muestra de 73 hombres con dependencia del alcohol, detenidos por haber ejercido violencia contra sus parejas y que realizaban una terapia cognitivoconductual. En su estudio, tal como se ha visto en la introducción, y al igual que ocurre en nuestra investigación, se establece una relación entre el consumo de alcohol y el aumento del empleo de violencia, en personas agresivas de base, en las que el alcohol actúa como "exacerbador" de la violencia.…”

Relación entre el consumo abusivo de alcohol y la violencia ejercida por el hombre contra su pareja en la unidad de valoración integral de violencia de género (UVIVG) de ResumenSe ha estudiado la posible relación entre el consumo de alcohol y la violencia ejercida por el hombre hacia la mujer con la que mantiene o ha mantenido relación sentimental, en una muestra de 50 parejas analizadas en la Unidad de Valoración Integral de Violencia de Género (UVIVG) de Sevilla, a lo largo de los años 2013 y 2014. Para ello se ha empleado una entrevista estructurada creada ad hoc, así como los cuestionarios MINI, MALT y CAGE. De las 50 parejas, en 25, las mujeres que denunciaron afirmaban que sus parejas eran consumidoras de alcohol y en ocasiones de otras sustancias de adicción, diagnosticándose tal consumo únicamente en 16 de estos hombres; la otra mitad de la muestra negaba el consumo de sustancias de adicción en sus parejas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los hombres que consumen alcohol ejercen violencia hacia su pareja en mayor proporción en estado sobrio que en estado ebrio. No obstante, el consumo de alcohol supone un incremento añadido en la frecuencia de la violencia ejercida. Igualmente, los resultados del estudio ponen de manifiesto que los hombres que no consumen alcohol ejercen violencia en menor porcentaje que los que sí lo hacen.Palabras clave: Consumo alcohol. Violencia en la pareja. Aumento de violencia. AbstractThis article examines the possible relation between alcohol consumption and violence of men towards women with whom they share or have shared a relationship. Our sample is composed of 50 couples analyzed under the Comprehensive Assessment of Gender Violence Unit (UVIVG) of Seville (Spain), during 2013 and 2014. It has been used an structured interview which has been created ad hoc, as well as the MINI, MALT and CAGE questionnaires. In 25 of the 50 analyzed couples, the woman, who had denounced, declared that her partner consumed alcohol and that he often consumed other substances of abuse. Nevertheless, this consumption was only diagnosed in 16 of those men. The women of the other half of the sample denied any consumption of substances of abuse by their partners. The results obtained from the analyzed sample shows that men who consume alcohol are more violent towards their partners when they are sober, than when they are drunk. However, the alcohol consumption increases the frequency of violent actions. Moreover, the results of the analysis reveal that men who do not consume alcohol resort to violence in a lower percentage than those who consume alcohol.

Objectives: To understand the complexity of the client's problems with alcohol use disorder and the importance of treating the underlying reasons of trauma to assist the client toward full recovery. To identify the related factors including traumatic events and irrational beliefs that led to the client's emotional response of anger. To understand that anger, when using unhealthy coping strategies, fosters violent behavior. To comprehend that alcohol is often used as a self-medication for dealing with emotional injury, irrational beliefs, and low self-esteem.Method: This case report describes the interrelation of possible etiology and emotional and behavioral responses that led to a complex mental health issue in a male client. The client's symptomology represented violent behavior toward others specified as Intermittent Explosive Disorder 312.34 (F63.81) and severe Alcohol Use Disorder 303.90 (F10.20) in early remission (DSM-5, 2013). Alcohol use is often associated with violent behavior, but it is also important assessing and treating trauma symptoms in understanding the complexity of alcohol use and domestic violence. The case report provides a framework of clinical treatment to assist the client for recovery and gaining sustained holistic wellness. Results:The client showed good progression with re-processing traumatic events with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as well as applying Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) when working with irrational beliefs including identity, masculinity, and healthy behaviors. Conclusion:After 6 months of follow up the client has shown positive treatment outcomes as evidenced by stability in his mental health and life.
