The present study aimed to cross-validate Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's typology in a Spanish sample of court-referred intimate partner violence batterers. The study also analyzed the typology's capability to predict treatment attendance, completion, and IPV recidivism two years after the treatment. The sample consisted of 210 batterers court referred to a batterer intervention program. Using cluster analysis, three batterer subtypes were identified in accordance with the original typology: family-only batterers, borderline/dysphoric, and generally violent-antisocial. The typology predicted program attendance, completion, and recidivism. Batterers from the generally violent-antisocial group attended a significantly lower number of sessions, presented the highest dropout levels, and had the highest recidivism rate followed by borderline/dysphoric and family-only batterers. These findings suggest that in order to increase the effectiveness of batterer intervention programs, batterers’ different needs and risk profiles should be taken into account.

击球手亚型在治疗依从性，计划完成和累犯方面的差异

本研究的目的是在法院指称的亲密伴侣暴力殴打者的西班牙样本中对Holtzworth-Munroe和Stuart的类型进行交叉验证。该研究还分析了该类型学在治疗两年后预测出勤率，完成率和IPV累犯的能力。该样本由210个施虐者法庭组成，被称为施虐者干预计划。使用聚类分析，根据原始类型确定了三种类型的击球手亚型：仅家庭击球手，边界线/烦躁者和一般的暴力反种族主义者。类型学预测了程序的出勤，完成和累犯。暴力反种族团体的殴打者参加的会议次数明显减少，辍学率最高，并具有最高的累犯率，其次是边缘性/烦躁和仅家庭殴打者。这些发现表明，为了提高施虐者干预计划的有效性，应考虑施虐者的不同需求和风险状况。
