Heavy alcohol use poses an increased risk for intimate partner violence. We present here a novel therapeutic treatment, integrated cognitive-behavioral intervention (ICBI), a treatment approach for men with alcohol dependence who also perpetrate intimate partner violence (IPV). ICBI includes a meaningful integration of cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapy techniques. In this case study of an adult married male with alcohol dependence, who also self-reported perpetration of IPV, we found that ICBI was an effective treatment approach not only in reducing alcohol consumption and perpetration of IPV but also in improving symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in his wife. Important limitations, however, were the short duration of follow-up and concurrent pharmacological treatment. Salient aspects of psychotherapy process and outcome, indications for, and utility of integrated approaches to treatment are discussed.
大量饮酒会增加亲密伴侣暴力的风险。我们在此提出一种新的治疗方法，即综合认知行为干预（ICBI），这是一种针对同时存在酒精依赖和亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的男性的治疗方法。ICBI 包括对认知行为和人际治疗技术的有意义的整合。在这个案例研究中，我们对一名成年已婚男性进行了研究，他有酒精依赖，也有自我报告的 IPV 行为，我们发现，ICBI 不仅在减少饮酒和 IPV 行为方面是一种有效的治疗方法，而且在改善他妻子的抑郁、焦虑和压力症状方面也是一种有效的治疗方法。然而，重要的限制是随访时间短和同时进行的药物治疗。讨论了心理治疗过程和结果的重要方面、综合治疗的适应症和实用性。
