Abstract

This special issue evaluates previously unquestioned assumptions that guided earlier research, with a critical eye toward expanding our understanding of the complexities of intimate partner violence (IPV) and its intervention. Some of the articles in this issue discuss: dominance and symmetry in partner violence by male and female university students; persistence of myths and implications for intervention of IPV; motives and control in escalatory conflicts in intimate relationships; critical analysis of risk assessment in domestic violence cases; and conceptual and empirical examination of sexual and physical aggression.
