Intimate partner violence is a serious public health problem accompanied by substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite its documented impact on health, there is no widely recognized treatment of choice. Some studies indicate that couples suffering from situational violence may benefit from couples therapy, but professionals are cautious to risk the possibility of violent retaliation between partners. After a comprehensive literature search of 1,733 citations, this systematic review and meta-analysis compiles the results of six studies to investigate the effectiveness of couples therapy as a treatment for violence. Preliminary data suggest that couples therapy is a viable treatment in select situations.
亲密伴侣暴力是一个严重的公共卫生问题,伴随着大量的发病和死亡情况。尽管其对健康的影响已有记载,但尚无广泛认可的首选治疗方法。一些研究表明,遭受情境性暴力的夫妻可能会从夫妻治疗中受益,但专业人员谨慎对待伴侣间暴力报复的可能性。在对1733篇文献进行全面检索后,本系统评价和荟萃分析汇总了六项研究的结果,以调查夫妻治疗作为暴力治疗方法的有效性。初步数据表明,在特定情况下,夫妻治疗是一种可行的治疗方法。
