Abstract: |
Using a sample of 67 families from the Midlands and South Wales who were involved in the child protection process, this study explored the feasibility and prevalence of paternal, reciprocal, and hierarchical patterns of family aggression. All of the families evidenced both physical partner violence and child maltreatment. The researchers examined psychological reports for each family to identify patterns of family aggression, and this article presents the results of the analysis. The study found that 43.3% of cases were characterised by hierarchical patterns, 41.8% by reciprocal patterns, and 14.9% by paternal patterns. The authors discuss understanding patterns of family aggression and parent characteristics. They highlight the frequent overlap of intimate partner violence and child maltreatment in the family home and the need for professionals to adopt a family focused perspective in order to understand the interactions between and effects of aggression on family members. |
