This study explored the differential prevalence of personality disorders (PD) and clinical syndromes between male perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) with and without a history of childhood family violence (CFV). A sample of 981 perpetrators of IPV was assessed with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III). Comparisons of sociodemographic characteristics and MCMI-III scales' scores between perpetrators with (n = 293) and without (n = 688) CFV were carried out. Results showed that IPV perpetrators with CFV had a lower level of education, were less frequently employed, and had higher rates of previous psychiatric history than perpetrators without CFV. Statistically significant differences between groups in almost all the MCMI-III scales were found. Perpetrators with CFV presented with higher scores on most of the evaluated scales and showed a more severe psychopathological profile than perpetrators without CFV. The multivariate analysis showed that the main MCMI-III domains related to CFV were higher scores on the disclosure and alcohol dependence scales and lower scores on the passive-aggressive scale. These findings reveal that CFV is associated with a more severe psychopathological profile in perpetrators of IPV. In order to develop tailored interventions, the presence of CFV and psychopathological symptoms should be assessed in IPV perpetrators.

有和没有儿童家庭暴力的亲密伴侣暴力肇事者之间的差异 MCMI-III 心理病理特征

本研究探讨了有和没有儿童家庭暴力 (CFV) 史的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 男性施暴者之间人格障碍 (PD) 和临床综合征的患病率差异。使用 Millon 临床多轴清单-III (MCMI-III) 评估了 981 名 IPV 肇事者样本。有 ( n  = 293) 和没有 ( n = 688) 进行了 CFV。结果表明，与没有 CFV 的肇事者相比，患有 CFV 的 IPV 肇事者受教育程度较低，就业频率较低，既往精神病史的比率更高。在几乎所有的 MCMI-III 量表中发现了组间显着的统计学差异。与没有 CFV 的肇事者相比，有 CFV 的肇事者在大多数评估量表上的得分更高，并且表现出更严重的精神病理学特征。多变量分析表明，与 CFV 相关的主要 MCMI-III 领域在披露和酒精依赖量表上得分较高，在被动攻击量表上得分较低。这些发现表明，CFV 与 IPV 肇事者更严重的精神病理学特征相关。为了制定有针对性的干预措施，
