Abstract

This theoretical study deals with a review of empirical research and theoretical papers in which typologies of the men who are violent against their intimate partners are analyzed. First, the most relevant typologies and the aspects that have in common are described. Specifically, most studies about batterer men have distinguished three categories: a) Family only batterer; b) Borderline/Disforic; and c) Generally Violent/Antisocial. Recently, other studies have identified new subtypes of aggressors (for example, Low-level Antisocial Batterers) or they have focused on other variables of classification (personality and psychopathological characteristics or stages and processes of change). Second, some of the current questions on typologies (temporal stability of the typologies and categorical versus continuous antisocial type) are examined. Third, it is also considered the possibility of tailoring specific therapeutic interventions to specific typology. Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.
