Researches concerning the psychological and behavioral alterations following exposure to Intimate Partner Violence, associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well, represent an interesting area of analyses. The aim of this work was to study the variations of event related brain potentials (ERPs), specifically N200 and P300, related to the establishment of visual emotional stimuli in women with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to IPV. We administered the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and a PTSD questionnaire to select a group of women recruited in a Center against Family Violence. Two categories of visual stimuli, emotional pictures with negative valence (EP) and positive and neutral pictures (NP), were presented during a decisional task, utilizing an oddball paradigm. The task was to press a button when the subject saw an emotional image. The IPV group was composed of 14 women (mean age: 39). The Control Group was composed of 14 women (mean age: 33) without PTDS or IPV nor depressive/anxiety symptomatology (measured with BDI II and BAI). Univariate ANOVAs were computed separately for each ERP component in amplitude and latency for electrode and for Lateralization. Both N200 and P300 had shown significant differences in amplitude (p

In literature there some works about the high prevalence of adverse health outcomes related to intimate partner violence (IPV). Research concerning the psychological and behavioral alterations following exposure to IPV, associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) too, represents an interesting area of analyses. The aim of this work was to study the variations of event related brain potentials (ERPs), specifically N200 and P300, related to the establishment of visual emotional stimuli in women with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorderdue to IPV.We administeredthe Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI II), Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI) and a PTSD questionnaire to select a group of women recruited in a Center against Family Violence. Two categories of visual stimuli, emotional pictures (EP) and positive and neutral pictures (NP), were presented during a decisional task, utilizing an oddball paradigm with probabilities of occurrence of 20%, 80% respectively. Experimental Group was composed by 9 women (mean age: 39) with a PTSD due to IPV;Control Group was composed by 9 women (mean age : 33) without PTDS, IPV or depressive or anxiety symptomatology (measured with BDI II and BAI) .Univariate ANOVAs were computed separately for each ERP component in amplitude and latency for electrode. Both N2 and P300 shown significant differences in amplitude (p
