Il profilo del partner maltrattante by Luca Cimino

“…Although it is not possible to identify a prototypical psycho(patho)logical profile of the abusive partner, against whom in the vast majority of cases it is not possible to find a defined clinical condition, nevertheless it seems possible to detect in the IPV perpetrators a common denominator that feeds a “perverse” dimension of the interpersonal relationship in which, that is, it is possible to identify a distortion of the functioning of “object relations”, followed by problems in the formation of the ego and with the structuring of pathological forms of attachment that, by preventing the processing of abandonment issues, may also cause violent behaviors. …”
