TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Unhealthy parenting and potential mediators as contributing factors to future intimate violence: a review of the literature JO - Trauma, violence, and abuse A1 - Schwartz, Jonathan P. A1 - Hage, Sally M. A1 - Bush, Imelda A1 - Burns, Lauren Key SP - 206 EP - 221 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - Efforts to understand and prevent intimate violence have often focused on the intergenerational transmission of intimate violence. Although witnessing and/or experiencing abuse in the family of origin is well supported in the literature as a key component of the intergenerational transmission of intimate violence, there has been less attention to other family-of-origin factors that contribute to or mediate and/or moderate future intimate violence. Particularly, a focus on the effect of parenting on future intimate violence is needed beyond the effect of modeling abusive behavior. In this article, corporal punishment and poor parenting are reviewed as familyof-origin factors related to future intimate violence. In addition, attachment theory, interpersonal skills, and emotional and behavioral regulation and/or conduct disorder are reviewed as variables that may result and mediate the relationship between family-of-origin factors and future intimate violence. Implications for preventing intimate violence by intervening in the family of origin are also identified.
