Treatment
of Intimate partner violence: Matching
treatment to perpetrator characteristics and
type of violenceABSTRACT INVITED SIMPOSIUM One size fits all interventions
have been the norm in attempts to reduce
recidivism rates in Intimate Partner Violence
(IPV). The importance of tailoring interventions
in IPV to the characteristics of perpetrators
and the type of violence will be emphasized
throughout this symposium. Each presentation
will in turn focus on assessment and treatment
with one type of perpetrator or for one type of
violence. The first presentation will focus on
interventions with couples in situations of
mutual violence. This will be followed by
presentations addressing perpetrator
characteristics as follows: Recent attempts to
address difficulties with affect regulation in
perpetrators with borderline personality
characteristics, interventions for perpetrators
with primarily attachment problems,
interventions for perpetrators who are generally
violent and finally a presentation illustrating
individualized motivational assessment in IPV
interventions.
