- Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is becoming a global issue and gaining increasing attention for its detrimental consequences. This paper combines research related to intimate partner violence and depression to systematically analyze their associations. We examined physical, psychological, sexual, and economic abuse in the intimate relationships, and found that physical abuse (and sexual abuse) may induce fear, jeopardize senses of safety or disrupt one‘s self-identity, leading to depression; psychological abuse demonstrates stronger predictive power on victim’s depression and shows more prevailing effect in the long-term; economic abuse happens when the victim’s financial freedom is being limited, which increases insecurity and forced reliance on the abuser. Prevention and intervention methods are discussed to determine their effectiveness against IPV causing depressive symptoms. This study contributed a systemic review focusing on IPV, particularly its effect on depression, to the extant literature, and identified further research gaps in long-term effective intervention methods.
