Personality Disorders, Types of Violence, and Stress Responses in Female Who Perpetrate Intimate Partner Violence
2013
Few studies have examined characteristics and
correlates of females who display assaultive behaviours towards their intimate
partners. Personality disorders, anger responses, type of violence perpetrated,
and post-traumatic stress reactions in female perpetrated intimate violence are
important factors in diagnosis, management, and treatment considerations. The
present study examined the incidence of cluster B personality disorder traits
in a non-clinical sample of self-identified females who perpetrate intimate
partner violence (IPV). Results suggest differences in anger responses, nature
and severity of violence perpetrated, and post-traumatic stress reactions
across personality disorder categories. The numerous important applied
implications and future research directions are discussed.
