Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine what proportion of individuals entering treatment for cocaine dependence admitted to battering an intimate partner and to compare the characteristics of those who were not identified as batterers. Of the 77 men in the sample, 38% were characterized as cocaine-dependent batterers. The batterers and nonbatterers were found to differ on a variety of background and assessment variables. Cocaine-dependent batterers more often reported a history of serious conflict with their sexual partner, trouble controlling violent behavior, greater psychiatric disturbance, difficulty relaxing, and being easily annoyed. A summary of the findings as well as implications for future research are discussed.
