Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) occurs at disturbing levels in relationships, and while our understanding of the factors at play that keep victims in these relationships is growing, it is still poorly understood. When examining why victims stay in abusive relationships, research has tended to focus on how to address the external and internal psychological barriers a victim faces when leaving the relationship, and very little research has been done into how a victim's attachment influences her ability to leave an abusive relationship. The potential interaction between a woman's attachment style and barriers to leaving has not been explored. The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between a woman's attachment style and barriers to leaving the abusive relationship; specifically, do women with different attachment styles report different barriers as more salient than others when it comes to leaving the relationship? Fifty women recruited from a domestic violence agency completed demographic questions, the ECR-R and DLS. As expected, there was an overrepresentation of insecure attachment styles. This study found significant differences between attachment style and barriers to leaving the relationship. Namely, those scoring higher in attachment anxiety scored higher on "internal inhibiting factors" such as hopes things change, fear of loneliness, and social embarrassment. While those scoring higher on attachment-related avoidance have greater correlation with "external inhibiting factors" such as fear of harm, poor social support, financial concerns, and childcare needs. Results, directions for future research, and implications for clinical practice are discussed.
