Intimate male partner violence against women has been recognised as an important public health problem, with a high impact on women’s mental health, including depressive and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, fathers who have been involved in intimate partner violence (IPV) have an increased probability of being violent toward their children. The study assesses the relation between the mental health status of abused women, their partner’s violence toward the children, and their maternal behaviour. (Edited publisher abstract)
