Abstract
With the aim of knowing the mental health state and the problem solving skills of convicted male intimate-partner violence offenders to mandatory community rehabilitation, a study was designed. As for this, the mental health state (SCL-90-R; Derogatis, 2002) and the coping strategies (CRI-A; Moos, 1993) of 60 adult males were assessed, 30 serving to mandatory community rehabilitation programmes and 30 from the normative population without intimate partner violence background. Both subsamples were matched in sociodemographic characteristics. The results showed significant higher rates of symptomatology at the SCL-90-R depression dimension and at the GSI and PSDI distress global indices for batterers in comparison with non-batterers. This clinical symptomatology is a feature of the convicted persons, and it does not interference the treatment efficacy. No differences were observed between batterers and non-batterers in the skills for problem solving in general. In consequence, the batterers’ lac to problem solving is limited to the intimate partner violence context only.
