Intimate partner violence (IPV) relates not only to physical forms of abuse, but also psychological, emotional, economic, and financial controlling behaviors. IPV is a dynamic, complex phenomenon that occurs over a relatively long period of time. While several measures of IPV exist, a method that can track the progression and escalation of such behaviors in relationships could offer more understanding and highlight key intervention points for individuals in such relationships. Behavior Sequence Analysis is used in the current research to map the chain and progression of behaviors in multiple real-world cases of IPV. Results indicate clear sequential clusters of behaviors such as physical and psychological abuse, and coercive controlling behaviors such as gaslighting, restricting movement, and removing freedoms. Overall, this research stands as a foundation framework to build a greater understanding of the processes and pathways of IPV, and offers workers in the field a novel method to assist with interviewing and intervening in such cases.

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 不仅涉及身体形式的虐待，还涉及心理、情感、经济和财务控制行为。IPV 是一种动态的、复杂的现象，会在相对较长的时间内发生。虽然存在多种 IPV 测量方法，但可以跟踪关系中此类行为的进展和升级的方法可以为此类关系中的个人提供更多理解并突出关键干预点。当前的研究使用行为序列分析来映射多个真实世界 IPV 案例中的行为链和进程。结果显示出明显的连续行为集群，例如身体和心理虐待，以及强制控制行为，例如煤气灯、限制行动和剥夺自由。全面的，
