N2  - This paper seeks to integrate 60 years of diffuse research on children who abuse their parents. Variation in samples, definitions, and measurement approaches have contributed to a complex literature on child-to-parent abuse (CPA), marked by variance in prevalence estimates and research findings. This review is structured according to Bronfenbrenner's (1979) nested ecological model of development (adapted by Dutton, 1995). This model provides a useful multifactor framework to interpret and synthesize findings and has been applied to similar areas of research--including intimate partner violence (Dutton, 1995) and general antisocial behavior (Borduin, 1999). This review also considers how various risk markers associated with CPA may interact with each other to produce aggressive behavior. This allows for hypothesis generation drawing upon the tenets of the general aggression model (Anderson & Bushman, 2002), which posits that aggression is a by-product of an interaction between specific kinds of individual, situational, and biological factors. As there is increasing attention on the connections between interpersonal aggression in different contexts (Hamby, 2011; Hamby & Grych, 2013), this review also provides suggestions for how CPA research may be integrated with existing bodies of research into interpersonal violence (e.g., intimate partner violence, general aggression, and adolescent antisocial behavior) and considers the potentially unique characteristics of CPA. Based on the results of the narrative review, this paper concludes with recommendations for future research that can advance understandings of CPA and guide effective prevention and intervention efforts....<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
