Résumé
Dans cet article, les auteures présentent une synthèse des écrits qui mettent en lumière le lien entre les troubles de la personnalité, les troubles de l’attachement et les comportements violents. Il a été établi que les troubles de personnalité et les troubles de l’attachement favoriseraient le passage à l’acte violent en contexte conjugal. Les auteures soulignent l’importance d’améliorer les connaissances sur cette relation afin d’adapter l’intervention auprès de la clientèle violente aux prises avec une problématique au niveau de la personnalité ou du lien d’attachement.
Abstract
Past research has established that personality disorders and attachment disorders are important risk factors for the perpetration of violent acts in a context of an intimate relationship. Very few studies have been conducted linking personality and attachment disorders to violent behaviors outside of the domestic violence context. This paper proposes to address this gap by reviewing the literature and linking these important concepts to general violence. This will allow a better understanding of the dynamics of violence and possibly open the door to new research and interventions taking into account both attachment and personality disorders as prodromic factors.
