Even so, a greater effort is needed to defi ne and evaluate psychological intimate partner abuse. A new exhaustive and operative taxonomy of PA strategies leads to the contribution of a new evaluation instrument. Method: Participants were 101 women between 24 and 82 years old, who were abused by their partners and attended to in different municipal Catalan services, specialized in the topic. Results: The analyses have shown the suitability of a 19-item instrument divided into two factors: (1) direct PA strategies and (2) indirect PA strategies. The former includes strategies that affect the emotional, cognitive and behavioral dimension of the victim. The latter includes items that measure the amount of control and domination over the victim’s context. This scale has adequate psychometric properties in terms of score reliability and the validity of the relationship with other women’s health variables. Conclusions: The EAPA-P, created based on a new defi nition and taxonomy of the forms of PA, is presented as a valid instrument to detect and measure intimate partner PAAntecedentes: en el contexto de la violencia en la pareja, la de tipo psicológico ha ido ganando relevancia científi ca. Aun así, es preciso un mayor esfuerzo para delimitar y evaluar el abuso psicológico (AP) en la pareja. Una nueva taxonomía de estrategias de AP da pie a la aportación de un nuevo instrumento de evaluación. Método: han participado 101 mujeres maltratadas por su pareja, de entre 24 y 82 años, y atendidas en diferentes servicios municipales especializados en el tema. Resultados: los análisis han mostrado la idoneidad de un instrumento de 19 ítems distribuidos en dos factores: (1) estrategias directas de AP y (2) estrategias indirectas de AP. El primero agrupa las estrategias que inciden en la dimensión emocional, cognitiva y conductual de la víctima. El segundo recoge aquellas que persiguen el control y la dominación sobre el contexto de la misma. Dicha escala posee propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en lo que se refi ere a la fi abilidad de las puntuaciones y la validez de relación con otras variables relacionadas con la salud. Conclusiones: la EAPA-P se presenta como herramienta válida para detectar y medir el AP en la parejaThe study was partially supported by Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness [Ministerio de Educación y Competitividad] (PSI2010-16098), and by Catalan Women’s Institute [Instituto Catalán de las Mujeres] (U-103/10)Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de AsturiasUAM.
