The most common type of male batterer described as having limited marital violence, absence of psychiatric or personality disorders, and relatively low rates of substance abuse is known as the "relationship/family-only batterer." This type tends to exhibit violent behavior primarily within the context of their intimate relationships or family settings, rather than in a broader social context.
