    Este estudio teórico presenta una revisión de múltiples investigaciones empíricas y trabajos teóricos en los que se analizan tipologías de hombres violentos contra su pareja. En primer lugar, se describen las tipologías más relevantes y los aspectos que tienen en común. Específicamente, la mayoría de estudios tipológicos sobre maltratadores han distinguido tres categorías: a) limitados al ámbito familiar, b) borderline/disfóricos, y c) violentos en general/antisociales. Estudios más recientes han identificado nuevos subtipos de agresores (por ejemplo, el antisocial de bajo nivel) o bien se han centrado en otras variables de clasificación (características psicopatológicas y de personalidad o etapas y procesos de cambio). En segundo lugar, se examinan algunos de los interrogantes actuales sobre este tema (la estabilidad de las tipologías con el paso del tiempo y la tipología en relación con el continuo antisocial). Y en tercer lugar, se considera la posibilidad de intervenciones terapéuticas específicas en función de cada tipología. Se comentan las implicaciones de este estudio para la práctica clínica y para las investigaciones futuras.

    This theoretical study deals with a review of empirical research and theoretical papers in which typologies of the men who are violent against their intimate partners are analyzed. First, the most relevant typologies and the aspects that have in common are described. Specifically, most studies about batterer men have distinguished three categories: a) Family only batterer; b) Borderline/Disforic; and c) Generally Violent/Antisocial. Recently, other studies have identified new subtypes of aggressors (for example, Low-level Antisocial Batterers) or they have focused on other variables of classification (personality and psychopathological characteristics or stages and processes of change). Second, some of the current questions on typologies (temporal stability of the typologies and categorical versus continuous antisocial type) are examined. Third, it is also considered the possibility of tailoring specific therapeutic interventions to specific typology.

    Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.
