Partner violence among drug-abusing women receiving behavioral couples therapy versus individually-based therapy

BCT + IBT and IBT are viable interventions for reducing both partners' psychological aggression and F-to-M physical assault frequency among drug-abusing women and their male partners. IBT is promising for reducing M-to-F physical assault and female physical injury. There appears to be greater risk of M-to-F physical assault when the female but not male partner is substance-abusing.
