    Aggressors against women in prison and in the community: an exploratory study of a differential profile
    (SAGE Publications, 2005) Fernández-Montalvo, Javier; Echeburúa, Enrique; Amor, Pedro; Psicología y Pedagogía; Psikologia eta Pedagogia
    The current study compares the demographic and psychopathological characteristics of 54 men, who were in prison because of a serious offence of violence against women, and of 42 violent men against women at home, who belonged to a program of community treatment. There were no significant differences in demographic variables between the two samples. However, from a psychopathological point of view, the psychiatric antecedents and current emotional instability were much more frequent and severe in aggressors within the community. Therefore two possible differential profiles among the violent men are presented. Implications of these results for further research and clinical practice are commented upon.

    Psychological treatment of men convicted of gender violence: a pilot-study in the Spanish prisons
    (SAGE Publications, 2006) Echeburúa, Enrique; Fernández-Montalvo, Javier; Amor, Pedro; Psicología y Pedagogía; Psikologia eta Pedagogia
    In this paper the effectiveness of a psychological treatment program for men who are in prison because of having committed a serious offence of gender violence is tested. The sample consisted of 52 men who were imprisoned in 8 Spanish prisons. The psychological treatment was a cognitive-behavioral program, in a group format, with 20 weekly sessions that lasted for 8 months. The results showed the utility of the treatment program, with a significant improvement of the irrational beliefs both about women and about violence as a strategy to cope with everyday difficulties, as well as a significant decrease of the general psychopathological symptomatology and, more specifically, of the degree of anger and hostility. On the other hand, results indicated that the only difference between the patients who dropped out of treatment and the ones who completed it was the level of initial motivation for treatment. Likewise, predictive variables of therapeutic results were the absence of a previous psychiatric history and the lower level both of global psychopathological symptomatology and of hostility. Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.

    Psychopathological profile of men convicted of gender violence: a study in the prisons of Spain
    (SAGE Publications, 2003) Echeburúa, Enrique; Fernández-Montalvo, Javier; Amor, Pedro; Psicología y Pedagogía; Psikologia eta Pedagogia
    In this paper a description of the demographic, penal and psychopathological characteristics of 54 men, who are in prison because of having committed a serious offence of gender violence, was carried out. Furthermore, a comparison in all the variables studied among the subjects with homicide and those without homicide was done. The results showed the existence of irrational beliefs both about women and about violence as a strategy to cope with everyday difficulties, as well as of general inadaptation to daily life. However, from a psychopathological point of view, in spite of not being observed a high degree of symptomatology in the whole sample, the psychiatric and penal antecedents and current emotional instability were much more frequent and severe in people that had not committed homicide. Therefore two possible differential profiles among the violent men are presented.
