The present study examined how interparental violence, neighborhood violence, behavioral regulation during parental conflict, and age predicted beliefs about the acceptability of aggression and the acceptance of retaliation against an aggressive peer among youths. Participants were 110 families (mothers, fathers, and children) in which one or both parents met criteria for substance use disorder. Results of a bootstrapped path model revealed higher exposure to neighborhood violence predicted greater acceptability of general aggression, whereas higher father-to-mother violence perpetration predicted lower acceptability of general aggression. Higher exposure to neighborhood violence, behavioral dysregulation during parental conflict, and older child age predicted greater approval of retaliation toward an aggressive peer. Findings are interpreted as related to the cognitive-contextual framework.

The following is written for child custody evaluators with the expectation that it will improve their assessment of risk to the subject children. It is argued that disputes engendering the need for these evaluations are a function of different parenting styles, but it is reliably reported as well that these disputes can mask coercive and controlling abuse. I describe two defensive mechanisms, projective identification and dissociation, that create the perceptual distortions responsible for the viciousness of many child custody disputes and can lead to custody decisions that may not protect the subject children. These defenses were theorized by early psychoanalysts and have now found significant empirical support. Additionally, this article may be of interest to those studying destructive conflict generally.

The aim of the current study was to examine the utility of the MCMI-III in forensic child custody cases. There is debate in the psychological assessment field regarding the use of the MCMI-III with nonpatient samples. Over the years, the MCMI-III Test Manual has changed its position on the issue going from a statement in which it would not be uncommon to find the results “null” because of the high levels of positive impression management to cautioning the psychologist to be aware of the aforementioned concerns. The current study utilizes 113 forensic child custody MCMI-IIIs. The protocols were examined and a review of the interpretive issues of high scores was conducted. The current study found highly elevated Base rate scores on Validity Scale Y, and on Clinical Personality Pattern Scales 4, 5, and 7. The article concludes with six clear recommendations to psychologists that choose to use the MCMI-III in child custody evaluations.

Practices in child custody evaluations have created controversy and debate among professionals. Semi-structured interviews of 10 highly experienced child custody evaluators were analyzed to gain an understanding of the evaluation process, changes in the field, and evaluators’ opinions and beliefs, especially concerning intimate partner violence (IPV) and parental alienation. Although a small qualitative sample, multiple evaluators had extreme beliefs and opinions about the prevalence of IPV in child custody cases, the belief that there is no such thing as parental alienation syndrome (PAS), and the need to differentiate between alienation and estrangement. Evaluators continue to value the ability of parents to co-parent as a top variable for making custody recommendations, seemingly regardless of alleged or substantiated IPV. Other concerning themes were identified and theoretical problem areas are discussed.

The presence of intimate partner violence, abuse, and maltreatment are problematic for child custody evaluators and family law attorneys. Therefore, evaluations of parents where one is violent or abusive within their interpersonal relationship are an important part of a child custody evaluations. This is especially vital when considering gender-specific and cultural-specific variables associated with intimate partner violence and abuse. Researchers and practitioners have often found that during custody disputes, reports of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse are ignored, minimized, or not considered, despite these types of abuse being documented or supported. Child custody cases often involve coercive or controlling abuse of partners or of children which are often difficult to detect. The effects of abuse and maltreatment, the intimidation that occurs, and the trauma it produces have lasting effects directly and indirectly on victims and the children, such as depression, anxiety, fear, distrust, low self-esteem, and other traumatic symptoms. Enhancing the awareness of these issues is especially important for attorneys and child custody evaluators to better aid their clients, whether they are children, adults, or the courts. The purpose of this special issue is to encourage professionals working in the courts to consider these serious issues and to become more aware of research involving the dynamics of this type of maltreatment, perceptions which sometimes are incorrect, and the attitudes one has that may lead to biased conclusions and recommendations which can have detrimental effects on children. This special issue features six articles focusing on various aspects of intimate partner violence, abuse, and child custody disputes, and one article on current research concerning assessment in child custody cases. The first article by Sanders, Geffner, Bucky, Ribner, and Patino focuses on qualitative research concerning the perceptions and attitudes of experienced child custody evaluators.

亲密伴侣暴力、虐待和虐待的存在对儿童监护权评估人员和家庭法律师来说是个问题。因此，对父母在人际关系中的暴力或虐待行为的评估是儿童监护权评估的重要组成部分。在考虑与亲密伴侣暴力和虐待有关的特定性别和特定文化变量时，这一点尤其重要。研究人员和从业人员经常发现，在监护权纠纷中，家庭暴力和亲密伴侣虐待的报告被忽视、最小化或不考虑，尽管这些类型的虐待被记录或支持。儿童监护案件往往涉及对伴侣或儿童的强制性或控制性虐待，这往往难以察觉。虐待和虐待的影响、发生的恐吓以及由此产生的创伤对受害者和儿童产生直接和间接的持久影响，如抑郁、焦虑、恐惧、不信任、自卑和其他创伤症状。提高对这些问题的认识对于律师和儿童监护评估人员更好地帮助他们的客户(无论他们是儿童、成年人还是法院)尤为重要。本期特刊的目的是鼓励在法院工作的专业人员考虑这些严重问题，并更加了解涉及这类虐待动态的研究，有时不正确的看法，以及可能导致对儿童产生有害影响的有偏见的结论和建议的态度。本期特刊刊载了六篇文章，重点介绍了亲密伴侣暴力、虐待和儿童监护权纠纷的各个方面，还有一篇文章介绍了目前关于儿童监护权案件评估的研究。第一篇由Sanders, Geffner, Bucky, Ribner和Patino撰写的文章着重于关于经验丰富的儿童监护权评估者的看法和态度的定性研究。版权# Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1537-9418 print=1537-940X online DOI: 10.1080/15379418.2015.1133969

Intimate partner violence (IPV) can negatively affect children's well-being and development, but few studies have looked specifically at parenting as experienced by IPV victims and abusers. Such knowledge could contribute to IPV interventions focused on parenting. The aim of this study was to gain understanding of parenting difficulties and needs of victims and perpetrators of IPV. Focus groups conducted with 16 mothers and 10 fathers showed after analysis that these parents had difficulty controlling aggression toward their children and wished to be better able to provide security for them. Insecurity about their children's reactions to the IPV also emerged. Parents seemed to seek a “roadmap” to help them interpret whether their children's behaviors were “normal.” They also wanted to share their concerns in a group of parents in the same situation, but feared being shown to be “worse” than the others or having to confront sensitive issues between group sessions.

The current study examined the differences in presentation of psychopathology following varying types of maltreatment, including the witnessing of intimate partner violence. Families recruited from a community mental health center specializing in child trauma were asked to complete questionnaires related to multiple realms of psychosocial functioning. Results indicated that the presence of sexual abuse significantly impacted the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms in children; however, this was not observed following other types of trauma. Analyses also revealed significant mediative relationships with respect to family variables. Although findings supported the original hypothesis, it was proposed that, rather than desensitization, these children might be may be explained by cognitive dissonance. More research needs to examine these findings.

Family law attorneys frequently encounter intimate partner violence (IPV) when they represent individuals in divorce and custody suits. Understanding the challenges that IPV presents for these attorneys is critical because case outcomes affect safety for clients and their children. To explore these challenges, the authors conducted three focus groups with family law attorneys to learn their personal attitudes and experiences with IPV in their practice. Attorneys reported that their scope of practice often encompassed the psychosocial context of their clients’ lives, and identified IPV assessment, client reaction, and variance in legal system response as prevalent difficulties. This study contributes to the literature by assessing family law attorneys’ perceptions about IPV and considering how they might inform their procedures and practices.

Typology systems hold promise to improve IPV treatment outcomes. Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart's (1994) typology was investigated using cluster analysis to categorize IPV behaviors among 112 partner-violent dyads. IPV types were compared on individual [convictions, physical assault, injury] and dyadic behaviors [symmetry, directionality, and co-occurrence of types]. As hypothesized, three-cluster solutions (Family-Only [FO], Borderline/Dysphoric [B/D], and Generally-Violent/Antisocial [GV/A]) were best-fitting across genders, with no ethnic differences. As hypothesized, FO, B/D, and GV/A subtypes had the lowest, intermediate, and highest rates of self-reported IPV and convictions, respectively. Typology group detected gender differences in predicted directions, mutual violence was the most common IPV type, and partners were most likely to have matching subtypes. Results support assessment at the individual dyadic level.
