N2  - In this article, we draw on attachment theory, academic research, emotionally focused couple therapy, and our own clinical practice to offer insights into situational couple violence (SCV) and its therapeutic management. We argue that SCV arises from negative interaction patterns, which can be described by four patterns of violence that represent different attachment behaviours between partners. By understanding these dynamics, SCV is understood within a refined attachment-based therapeutic paradigm that gives the therapist a clear roadmap of how SCV is related to the underlying emotions and needs of both partners.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
