What Do I Bring to the Team? Self‐Capacities Mediate the Association Between Childhood Interpersonal Trauma and Parenting Alliance in Couples
Parents exposed to childhood interpersonal trauma are at risk of reporting difficulties following the birth of a child. Although parenting alliance is crucial for both parental and infant well-being, it is often overlooked for trauma survivors in the postpartum period. More research is needed, focusing on both co-parents and using a dyadic and longitudinal approach to understand the underlying mechanisms. Self-capacities offer insights into traum…
Sexual Coercion Within Romantic Relationships
You Just Don’t Get It
After childbirth, couples often experience a decline in sexual satisfaction, with interpersonal trauma survivors being particularly vulnerable. In fact, increasing evidence links cumulative childhood interpersonal trauma (CCIT) with reduced sexual well-being in adulthood. However, little is known about the influence of CCIT on postpartum sexual satisfaction and the underlying mechanisms, while childbirth is a stressful period that may reactivate …
Comparative Analysis of Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators According to their Referral Type
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health issue with long-lasting consequences, necessitating effective treatments to disrupt its intergenerational transmission. However, the common one-size-fits-all approach in IPV programs may fail to acknowledge the diversity among perpetrators. This study compared three types of IPV perpetrators entering treatment: self-referred, legally mandated, and formally pressured. Among 1,302 men surveye…
Female gender, sexist maltreatment, adverse childhood events, and psychological symptoms
Women's symptomatology may not be uniquely related to their gender, per se, but is significantly associated with their experiences of sexism and childhood adversity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

Exploring the Roles of Attachment, Trauma, and Personality Factors on Therapeutic Goals Achievement among Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators
Attachment Insecurities and Intimate Partner Violence
Sexual Fantasies, Sexual Trauma and the Weight of Shame
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and adulthood sexual assault (ASA) have been associated with the emergence of violent and shame-filled sexual fantasies in adulthood. Shame related to sexual fantasies may be linked to psychological distress and erotophobia, yet the interplay between fantasy themes, shame, and CSA/ASA remains underexplored. This study used a three-step latent profile analysis on a sample of 1,414 Canadian adults (309 CSA and 423 ASA s…
Examining Erectile Disorder Manifestations and the Impact of Point-Of-View in Virtual Reality Erotica
A growing body of research utilizes virtual reality (VR) in the field of mental health. Yet, the potential of this technology for sexual dysfunctions remains underexplored. This study focused on erectile disorder (ED) and evaluated the ability of virtual three-dimensional sexual scenarios to elicit ED manifestations (e.g. sexual performance anxiety, low sexual response). It further investigated the influence of viewer perspective in VR - first-pe…

“Finding My Worth as a Sexual Being”
“Like A Mouse Pursued By the Snake”
A metasynthesis was performed on 15 qualitative studies to document the experience of revictimization by an intimate partner among women, based on survivors’ perspectives on their sustained childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence victimization. Results identified two main conceptual categories: (a) Barriers to action: A belief system reflecting learned helplessness that hinders women’s abilities to protect themselves and prevent furt…
A Qualitative Analysis of Sexual Fantasies Among Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors and Non-Victims
was reported solely by survivors. These findings highlight the diverse fantasy content experienced by survivors, prompting a reconsideration of theories suggesting a linear relationship between CSA and the development of sadomasochistic or violent fantasies in adulthood
Stress of not being “man enough”
Psychological Neglect and the Sense of Parental Competence in Parental Couples
Cumulative childhood interpersonal trauma and parental stress
Parents who have experienced cumulative childhood interpersonal trauma (CCIT, i.e., an accumulation of different types of abuse) tend to experience higher parental stress following the birth of a child. As CCIT is associated with lower levels of partner support, which is linked to increased parental stress, partner support could explain the link between CCIT and parental stress. Yet, these variables have never been studied using a dyadic approach…

Attachment Injury Severity, Injury-related Stress, Forgiveness, and Sexual Satisfaction in Injured Adult Partners
An attachment injury can occur when one partner violates the assumption that they will provide comfort and caring during a moment of increased need. For injured partners, unresolved attachment injuries can underlie an enduring stress reaction and lower relationship satisfaction. However, no research has examined the associations between the perceived severity of the injury and sexual satisfaction, a central component of relationship well-being. I…

Exploring Variations in Individuals’ Relationships to Sexual Fantasies
Romantic Attachment, Sex Motives and Sexual Difficulties in Emerging Adults
A growing body of research has revealed that many emerging adults (i.e., aged 18 to 25) experience sexual difficulties. Past studies have emphasized the need to examine sexual difficulties by accounting for sex motives (i.e., reasons for engaging in sex) and by using a trauma-focused or attachment-based framework. This study examined the role of sex motives in the associations among attachment insecurities (anxiety, avoidance) and sexual difficul…

A Longitudinal Study of the Mediating Role of Romantic Attachment in the Relation Between Child Maltreatment and Psychological Adaptation in Emerging Adults
Extradyadic Sexual Involvement and Sexual Compulsivity in Male and Female Sexual Abuse Survivors
We tested a mediation model in which the relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) severity and extradyadic sexual involvement (ESI) is explained through sexual compulsivity. Participants were 669 adults currently involved in an intimate relationship who completed self-report questionnaires. Prevalence of ESI was 32% in women and 57% in men survivors, more than twice the rates among participants with no CSA history. Sexual compulsivity was si…

Neuroticism and Men’s Sexual Coercion as Reported by Both Partners in a Community Sample of Couples
Compared with other forms of intimate partner violence, very little is known about sexual coercion (SC) and its correlates in intact couples from the general population. Among potential dispositional risk factors for SC, neuroticism has been related to various aspects of couple functioning, including psychological and physical partner abuse. Based on theoretical and empirical evidence, we suggest the existence of two maladaptive profiles on the n…
Early exposure to violence, domestic violence, attachment representations, and marital adjustment
The present study investigates the effects of violent experiences in childhood on current domestic violence and marital adjustment, using adult attachment theory as a conceptual framework. A nonclinical sample of 644 Canadian adults in long‐term romantic relationships completed measures of adult romantic attachment, conflict tactics scales, and dyadic adjustment. Structural equation modeling revealed that early experiences of violence affect adul…

Personnalité et distorsions cognitives des agresseurs sexuels
Bien qu’il n’existe pas de typologie définitive des caractéristiques des agresseurs sexuels à l’égard d’enfants, la documentation scientifique révèle la présence de distorsions cognitives et de traits de personnalité impliqués dans l’étiologie et le maintien des comportements sexuels déviants. Ces facteurs étant également associés au risque de récidive, ils constituent des cibles de traitement de première importance. La présente étude a pour obje…

Persistent and Transitory Sexualized Behavior Problems in Children
A Meta-Analysis of Risk and Protective Factors for Dating Violence Victimization
Dating violence (DV) is a widespread social issue that has numerous deleterious repercussions on youths’ health. Family and peer risk factors for DV have been widely studied, but with inconsistent methodologies, which complicates global comprehension of the phenomenon. Protective factors, although understudied, constitutes a promising line of research for prevention. To date, there is no comprehensive quantitative review attempting to summarize k…
Intimate Partner Violence in Male Survivors of Child Maltreatment
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health concern. Yet, despite an increasingly extensive literature on interpersonal violence, research on male victims of IPV remains sparse and the associations between different forms of child maltreatment (CM) and IPV victimization and perpetration in men remains unclear. The present meta-analysis evaluated five different forms of CM (sexual, physical, and psychological abuses, neglect, and witn…

Child Maltreatment and Polyvictimization as Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence in Women From the General Population of Quebec
This study aimed to (a) evaluate the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and revictimization among a representative sample of 1,001 women living in Quebec, Canada; (b) examine whether IPV was predicted by experiences of child maltreatment; and (c) explore the role of polyvictimization on IPV beyond the effect of any type of exposure. Results indicate the prevalence rates of lifetime IPV (10.5%), IPV over the last year (2.5%), and revict…
