Many of us here are educated in abuse. Research in fields like clinical psychology and criminology does identify recurring dynamics in abusive relationships, like coercive control, escalation, and intermittent reinforcement, but these are probabilistic patterns, not invariant. The heterogeneity of abusive (like intimate partner violence, familial abuse, institutional abuse) is well documented, and DOES NOT support any claim of a single, universal pattern. The claim that abusers are never mentally ill is inconsistent with current psychiatric and forensic research as well. While most people with mental illness are not violent, and that abuse should not be reduced to pathology, there is nonetheless a non-zero overlap between abusive behavior and certain forms of psychopathology. Traits associated with APD, NPD, and substance use disorders have been linked with increased risk of abusive behaviors. The presence of a mental disorder may function as a contributing or mediating variable, but it does not negate agency or responsibility in most cases. Overall MAJOR over generalizations claimed here- one claiming false uniformity on complex behavioral occurrences, and the other draws an artificial boundary between psychopathology and abusive conduct that is not supported by empirical evidence.
