Interpersonal Violence, early life adversity, and suicidal behavior in hypersexual men
Journal of behavioral addictions, 2017Co-Authors: Andreas Chatzittofis, Josephine Savard, Stefan Arver, Katarina Görts Öberg, Jonas Hallberg, Peter Nordström, Jussi JokinenAbstract:Background and aims There are significant gaps in knowledge regarding the role of childhood adversity, Interpersonal Violence, and suicidal behavior in hypersexual disorder (HD). The aim of this study was to investigate Interpersonal Violence in hypersexual men compared with healthy volunteers and the experience of Violence in relation to suicidal behavior. Methods This case-control study includes 67 male patients with HD and 40 healthy male volunteers. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire - Short Form (CTQ-SF) and the Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scale (KIVS) were used for assessing early life adversity and Interpersonal Violence in childhood and in adult life. Suicidal behavior (attempts and ideation) was assessed with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (version 6.0) and the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale - Self-rating. Results Hypersexual men reported more exposure to Violence in childhood and more violent behavior as adults compared with healthy volunteers. Suicide attempters (n = 8, 12%) reported higher KIVS total score, more used Violence as a child, more exposure to Violence as an adult as well as higher score on CTQ-SF subscale measuring sexual abuse (SA) compared with hypersexual men without suicide attempt. Discussion Hypersexuality was associated with Interpersonal Violence with higher total scores in patients with a history of suicide attempt. The KIVS subscale exposure to Interpersonal Violence as a child was validated using the CTQ-SF but can be complemented with questions focusing on SA for full assessment of early life adversity. Conclusion Childhood adversity is an important factor in HD and Interpersonal Violence might be related to suicidal behavior in hypersexual men.

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Interpersonal Violence in Suicide Attempters
Archives of suicide research : official journal of the International Academy for Suicide Research, 2015Co-Authors: Hanna Sahlin, Tomas Moberg, Tatja Hirvikoski, Jussi JokinenAbstract:The current study compared characteristics of suicidal behavior and Interpersonal Violence in suicide attempters with and without a history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). A total of 100 suicide attempters were assessed with Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scale (KIVS) and Karolinska Suicide History Interview concerning Interpersonal Violence and NSSI. There was a high degree of comorbid NSSI in suicide attempters (44%). Suicide attempters with NSSI-history reported more Interpersonal Violence as adults and more severe suicidal behavior compared to suicide attempters without NSSI. Comorbid NSSI was related to severity of suicidal behavior in a gender specific manner. Comorbid NSSI in suicide attempters may increase suicide and Violence risk.

Thyroid hormones and adult Interpersonal Violence among women with borderline personality disorder.
Psychiatry research, 2015Co-Authors: Cave Sinai, Tatja Hirvikoski, Peter Nordström, Anna-lena Nordström, Åsa Nilsonne, Alexander Wilczek, Marie Åsberg, Jussi JokinenAbstract:Elevated T3 levels have been reported in men with antisocial behavior. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between thyroid hormones and expressed adult Interpersonal Violence in female patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Furthermore, expressed adult Interpersonal Violence in female BPD patients was compared to healthy female controls. A total of 92 clinically euthyroid women with BPD and 57 healthy women were assessed with the Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scales (KIVS). Baseline thyroid function was evaluated by measuring plasma free and bound triiodothyronine (FT3 and T3), thyroxine (FT4 and T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with immunoassays in patients. Plasma cortisol was also measured. Among females with BPD, expressed Interpersonal Violence as an adult showed a significant positive correlation with the T3 levels. The mean expression of Interpersonal Violence as an adult was significantly higher in BPD patients as compared to healthy controls. The multiple regression model indicated that two independent predictors of KIVS expressed Interpersonal Violence as an adult: T3 and comorbid diagnosis of alcohol abuse. Association between T3 levels and violent/aggressive behavior earlier reported exclusively in male samples may be valid also in females with BPD.

Risk factors for adult Interpersonal Violence in suicide attempters
BMC psychiatry, 2014Co-Authors: Tomas Moberg, Peter Nordström, Marie Åsberg, Marlene Stenbacka, Erik G. Jönsson, Jussi JokinenAbstract:Background: Suicidal and violent behaviours are interlinked and share common biological underpinnings. In the present study we analysed the association between violent behaviour as a child, childhood trauma, adult psychiatric illness, and substance abuse in relation to Interpersonal Violence as an adult in suicide attempters with mood disorders. Methods: A total of 161 suicide attempters were diagnosed with Structured Clinical Interviews and assessed with the Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scale (KIVS) measuring exposure to Violence and expressed violent behaviour in childhood (between 6-14 years of age) and during adult life (15 years or older). Ninety five healthy volunteers were used as a comparison group. A logistic regression analysis was conducted with the two KIVS subscales, expressed violent behaviour as a child and exposure to Violence in childhood together with substance abuse, personality disorder diagnoses and age as possible predictors of adult Interpersonal Violence in suicide attempters. Results: Violent behaviour as a child, age and substance abuse were significant predictors of adult Interpersonal Violence. ROC analysis for the prediction model for adult Violence with the KIVS subscale expressed Violence as ac hild gave an AUC of 0.79. Using two predictors: violent behaviour as a child and substance abuse diagnosis gave an AUC of 0.84. The optimal cut-off for the KIVS subscale expressed Violence as ac hild was higher for male suicide attempters. Conclusions: Violent behaviour in childhood and substance abuse are important risk factors for adult Interpersonal violent behaviour in suicide attempters.

2180 – Non-suicidal self-injury and Interpersonal Violence in suicide attempters
European Psychiatry, 2013Co-Authors: H. Sahlin Berg, Tomas Moberg, Tatja Hirvikoski, Jussi JokinenAbstract:There is increasing evidence for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a risk factor for future suicidal behavior. Although sparse, research has shown that individuals who engage in both NSSI and suicide attempts (SA) have more complex psychopathology, lower psychosocial functioning and more self-rated aggression and impulsivity than individuals with NSSI alone or SA alone. Both exposure to Interpersonal Violence as a child and expressed violent behaviour as an adult are risk factors for completed suicide. The current study compares characteristics of suicidal behaviour and Interpersonal Violence in suicide attempters with and without a history of NSSI. A total of 100 suicide attempters (33 men and 67 women) were enrolled in the study and assessed with Karolinska Interpersonal Violence Scale (KIVS) and Karolinska Suicide History Interview concerning Interpersonal Violence and NSSI. Results There was a high degree of comorbid NSSI in our sample of suicide attempters (44%). Suicide attempters with both behaviours reported more Interpersonal Violence as adults (Z=3.0, p=0.003) and more severe suicidal behaviour compared to suicide attempters without NSSI. Comorbid NSSI in suicide attempters seems to be related to severity of suicidal behaviour differently in male and female suicide attempters. Comorbid NSSI in suicide attempters may increase suicide and Violence risk, and methods for assessment of both Violence and NSSI are important for targeting and intervention.

Interpersonal Violence: an important risk factor for disease and injury in South Africa.
Population health metrics, 2010Co-Authors: Rosana E. Norman, Michelle Schneider, Debbie Bradshaw, Rachel Jewkes, Naeemah Abrahams, Richard Matzopoulos, Theo VosAbstract:Burden of disease estimates for South Africa have highlighted the particularly high rates of injuries related to Interpersonal Violence compared with other regions of the world, but these figures tell only part of the story. In addition to direct physical injury, Violence survivors are at an increased risk of a wide range of psychological and behavioral problems. This study aimed to comprehensively quantify the excess disease burden attributable to exposure to Interpersonal Violence as a risk factor for disease and injury in South Africa. The World Health Organization framework of Interpersonal Violence was adapted. Physical injury mortality and disability were categorically attributed to Interpersonal Violence. In addition, exposure to child sexual abuse and intimate partner Violence, subcategories of Interpersonal Violence, were treated as risk factors for disease and injury using counterfactual estimation and comparative risk assessment methods. Adjustments were made to account for the combined exposure state of having experienced both child sexual abuse and intimate partner Violence. Of the 17 risk factors included in the South African Comparative Risk Assessment study, Interpersonal Violence was the second leading cause of healthy years of life lost, after unsafe sex, accounting for 1.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or 10.5% of all DALYs (95% uncertainty interval: 8.5%-12.5%) in 2000. In women, intimate partner Violence accounted for 50% and child sexual abuse for 32% of the total attributable DALYs. The implications of our findings are that estimates that include only the direct injury burden seriously underrepresent the full health impact of Interpersonal Violence. Violence is an important direct and indirect cause of health loss and should be recognized as a priority health problem as well as a human rights and social issue. This study highlights the difficulties in measuring the disease burden from Interpersonal Violence as a risk factor and the need to improve the epidemiological data on the prevalence and risks for the different forms of Interpersonal Violence to complete the picture. Given the extent of the burden, it is essential that innovative research be supported to identify social policy and other interventions that address both the individual and societal aspects of Violence.

The association between exposure to Interpersonal Violence and suicide among women: a systematic review.
Australian and New Zealand journal of public health, 2016Co-Authors: Michael B. Macisaac, Lyndal Bugeja, George A JelinekAbstract:To review the association between exposure to Interpersonal Violence and suicide among women. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol (PRISMA-P), this review examined articles identified by using the key terms 'Interpersonal Violence', 'suicide' and 'death'. Of 5,536 articles identified, 38 met the a priori inclusion criteria. These required that studies examined Interpersonal Violence, included women and completed suicide was a measured outcome. Thirty-eight studies were identified. These examined suicides among women exposed to Interpersonal Violence as a victim (n=27) or perpetrator (n=14). A history of Interpersonal Violence was identified in 3.5-62.5% of female suicides, with many articles finding victims of abuse have an increased risk of death from suicide. Females perpetrating Violence may also be at increased the risk of death from suicide. However, several papers have questioned these associations. Further, the contribution of mental illness to this association is unclear. Although the association between suicide and Interpersonal Violence requires further investigation, being a victim or perpetrator of Violence appears to be associated with risk of suicide. Future research should focus on the impact that the type of Violence, victim-perpetrator relationship and proximity of Violence has on the risk of death from suicide. Implications for Public Health: There may be significant opportunity for targeted suicide prevention strategies among women who have been victims or perpetrators of Interpersonal Violence. © 2016 The Authors.
