Typologies of intimate violence are part of an emerging paradigm towards a multifaceted,
multi-theoretical approach to understanding the causes and effects of intimate violence.
For this new paradigm to be implemented into research and practice, there are several
gaps in the knowledge base that must be addressed. In particular, there is a need: (a) to
develop a more comprehensive typology of intimate violence that integrates
characteristics of perpetrators with interactional characteristics of violence; (b) to
evaluate the differential effects of this comprehensive typology for women and men; and
(c) to develop of a clinical assessment approach that incorporates the most current
knowledge on typologies of violence with the most current knowledge on assessment
practices. Two studies were conducted to address these gaps. The first study is an
empirical analysis testing Johnson's (1995; 2002) coercive control construct as an
indicator of type and effects of intimate violence for women and men using secondary
data analysis methods. The second manuscript is the development of a tiered intimate
violence assessment approach that incorporates current knowledge on conjoint
assessment with current knowledge on typologies of intimate violence. A conceptual
clinical assessment approach is proposed that can be tested for its usefulness in assisting
clinicians with assessing for intimate violence during conjoint sessions, and for
determining whether conjoint treatment is indicated. / Graduation date: 2005
