Contrast the three types of batterers.
What will be an ideal response?
There are three main types of batterers, including family-only, dysphoric-borderline, and generally violent-antisocial. The family-only batterer tends to be the least violent and shows little violence toward people outside their family. Aside from beating their partners, they show little psychopathology. The dysphoric-borderline batterer engages in moderate or severe violence toward his partner but not toward others. These perpetrators demonstrate the most psychopathology, exhibiting depression and anxiety and borderline personality traits such as extreme emotion fluctuations and intense, unstable interpersonal relationships. Generally violent-antisocial batters are the most violent, both toward their partner and toward others, and they are likely to exhibit antisocial personality disorder.
