Furthermore, a comparison of all the variables studied among the subjects referred by the court to the treatment programme (n=276) and those who were imprisoned (n=123) was conducted. The results showed the existence of numerous statistically significant differences between groups, primarily in psychopathological variables and in cognitive bias about women and violence use. In general, imprisoned batterers showed more irrational beliefs both about women and about violence as a strategy to cope with everyday difficulties. Moreover, batterers in prison had significantly higher scores on all psychopathological symptoms as assessed by SCL-90-R, as well as in most of STAXI-2 subscales. According to these results, batterers in prison showed a higher severity in variables studied than those who were referred by the court to the treatment programme. Implications of these results for further research and clinical practice are also commented on.En este artículo se presentan las características demográficas, de violencia y psicopatológicas de 399 hombres que acuden a un programa especializado en el tratamiento de violencia de género. Además, se lleva a cabo una comparación en todas las variables estudiadas entre los agresores enviados al programa como suspensión de la ejecución de la pena (n=276) y aquellos que cumplían condena en prisión (n=123). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron la existencia de numerosas diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los dos grupos. En general los maltratadores en prisión mostraron más ideas irracionales sobre la mujer y sobre la violencia como forma aceptable de resolver las dificultades cotidianas. Además, los agresores en prisión presentaron puntuaciones más altas en los síntomas psicopatológicos evaluados con el SCL-90-R, así como en la mayoría de las subescalas del STAXI-2. Con arreglo a estos resultados, los maltratadores en prisión presentaban una mayor gravedad en las variables estudiadas en comparación con aquellos enviados al programa de tratamiento como alternativa a la ejecución de la pena. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la investigación futura y para la práctica clínica con agresores.Cambridge University PressPsicología y PedagogíaPsikologia eta Pedagogia2012info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2454/28359reponame:Academica-e.
