Alcohol consumption is often associated with violence against women.The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between alcohol andother relevant variables in the intervention with men convicted of intimatepartner violence, both at the individual and contextual spheres. Clinicalsymptomatology, Drug abuse, Impulsivity, Self-esteem, Assumption ofresponsibility, Intimate support perception, Social rejection perception,Accumulation of stressful life events, Income perception and Socialsupport in community are assessed in a sample of 291 participants in anintervention program for men condemned for intimate partner violence.Data were analyzed using bivariate correlations and ANOVAs. Statisticallysignificant differences were obtained among Risk consumers and Not riskconsumers in Clinical symptomatology, Drug abuse, Impulsivity,Selfesteem and Attribution of blame to personal context as individual variables and Intimate support perception, Social rejection and Accumulation of stressful life events as contextual variables. Results of previous work are confirmed and the importance of considering social factors in the participants’ environment when considering decreasing alcohol consumption and intimate partner violence is demonstrated. New tools for enhancing interventions in rehabilitation programs with men convicted for violence against women is provided.References
