Special issue on treatment-resistant perpetrators of intimate partner violence

  • June 7th, 2023
2nd issue of volume 32 journal

A 2nd issue of volume 32 of the scientific journal Psychosocial Interventionhas been published this May 2023.

Although research in the field of intimate partner aggressors has advanced considerably in recent decades, significant challenges regarding intervention effectiveness remain. 

Among those challenges are high dropout rates, low motivation to change, high levels of denial, minimization of responsibility and victim blaming, and dealing with high-risk and highly resistant participants. 

This special issue of Psychosocial Intervention includes a number of studies that analyze the therapeutic needs, risk factors, and treatment resistance in intimate partner perpetrators in order to provide evidence-based responses to improve intervention programs.
