According to an important article about the magazine "Alpha and Omega", the maltratadores usually come from violent hearths, in which they have seen to ill-treat, and in those who have ill-treated them. These persons can endure psychological disorders and, many of them, they use substances, like the alcohol, that help to promote his aggressiveness. They have a certain profile of immaturity, affective dependency, insecurity...; they are emotionally unstable, impatient and impulsive. The maltratadores usually move the aggressiveness that they have accumulated in other ambiences towards his wives. Also, they consider the woman to be something of his property. Inside his pathology, the frequent repentance is, and the woman misinterprets this repentance, which is only temporary, up to the next blow.
The bully tends to be an isolated person, he is not related very much to others, is jealous even of its own shade, he has low self-esteem. This is a characteristic that it always has, a self-esteem immediately after the soil, which causes frustration and the frustration brings violence. Also, it has a few rigid expectations of his sexual roll like man. East is the typical male. And the machismo what it is covering, is a complex of inferiority, the low self-esteem. That's why it tries to feign what is not. Generally the bullies who beat, that they hurt, present a soft side. There are very polite many, even religious.
John Bradshaw affirms in his book "Homecoming", that "the internal child" hurt by person can lead him to behaving violently and cruelly. The person does not assume the responsibility for his acts because he thinks that the culprits are the others. In case of the battered wife for example, the violent man makes responsible her for his own actions. Sometimes the violence of the bully conceals the fear or the insecurity, the terror that he felt of child before an excessive father who was striking it often. On having become an adult, there prefers to adopt the personality of the father bully to feel weak and scared. In other cases, the offensive behaviors are the consequence of a too permissive childhood during which the parents liked the child in everything. This leads the child to being considered top on having become an adult and to think that he is over the law. Or, that can do what he wants and abuse the one who wants. He thinks that there is deserved a special dealing, better than the one that gives them to the others.
In his book "When Men Batter Women", Simon and Shuster they propose two types of maltratador:
He Charges
It is very probable that it is aggressive with the whole world.
It does not depend emotionally on another person, but he insists that his partner must do what he always wants.
It is more inclined to threaten with knives or revolvers.
He calms down internally, as it becomes aggressive.
It is difficult to treat it with psychological therapy.
Possibly it has been accused of some crime.
It abuses the drugs or the alcohol.
The Pit-Bull
It is only violent with the persons that it loves.
It is jealous and it is afraid that they leave it.
It deprives his wife or fiancée of his independence.
Soon to the anger, to watch and to attack publicly his partner.
His body reacts violently during a discussion.
It has some potential for the rehabilitation.
Probably it has not been accused of any crime.
Possibly it had an excessive father.
These psychologists affirm in his book that "O.J. Simpson is one 'pitbull' typically that it shows his most monstrous behavior only with the woman who loves". "Pitbull" it spies on the woman continuously believing that this one cheats him. He is a husband or very jealous fiancé. To all the persons who treat it him his fiancées or wives like very much, except.
On the other hand, the "retrieval" often is a sociópata. It is cold and calculating, it cheats easily his victim and can be a sadistic one. His violence arises from his pathological need to leave with his, to be always the chief, and to insure itself of that everybody (including his wife), knows that he is the chief. After his wife has been ill-treated physically and is afraid, sometimes it stops this type of abuse and replaces it with a constant psychological maltreatment, across which he allows him to know his victim, that the physical abuse might continue in any moment. The investigative psychologists, authors of the book on this already said topic, concluded that the maltreatment rarely stops himself.
