The article utilizes Latino critical theory and critical psychology perspectives to review and critique the literature on Latinos’ intimate partner violence and abuse and intervention programs. Critical Latino theories are described and reviewed and then applied to the literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) predictors among Latinos. The review demonstrates that the research literature on the predictors, correlates, and antecedents of Latino males’ IPV behaviors focuses largely on the individual level of analysis and consequently suffers from three main limitations: use of deficit models in research, decontextualized assessment and evaluations of IPV, and neglect of higher levels of analysis influencing IPV in Latinx communities. Implications for ending the stigmatization and demonization of Latinos and Latinx culture in research and intervention design on IPV are discussed, with a particular focus on improving the relevance and effectiveness of preventive intervention programs for Latinos.
