TL;DR: Results of this review suggest that a well-defined and integrative theoretical framework will enhance the current understanding of ecological research into IPV, and a comprehensive ecological approach to IPV intervention is likely to be more effective than employing solely an individual-level approach.

TL;DR: Investigating potential protective factors that promoted positive adaptation and increased the likelihood of a child engaging in the healthy, normative range of aggressive behavior, despite experiencing physical maltreatment highlighted the role of protective factors in fostering positive and adaptive behaviors in maltreated children.

TL;DR: Behavioral problems demonstrated later in childhood may emerge from earlier adverse developmental experiences and that difficulties in one domain may spill over into other developmental domains, support that gender-specific interventions to promote competence in children may contribute to diverting children from maladaptive developmental outcomes.

TL;DR: This article draws upon existing theories of trauma and the etiologies of violence perpetration and proposes an alternative model of care for men with IPV histories, incorporating trauma-informed care principles and trauma interventions into programming for IPV perpetrators warrants further investigation.

TL;DR: This article summarizes the literature examining the effects of IPV exposure on children, reviews key underlying mechanisms, and suggests the use of a public health prevention approach.
