Abstract
This study assesses perpetrator psychopathology, acknowledgement rates and IPV accepting attitudes. Perpetrators showed heightened levels of psychopathology, low baseline acknowledgement and high levels of IPV accepting attitudes. Acknowledgement rates did not change post-exposure to an acknowledged perpetrator. Results were discussed in terms of their implications for IPV prevention and intervention.
