This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to comprehensively synthesize the literature on the association between a person\u2019s CM and their partner\u2019s individual and couple outcomes. We searched PubMed, PsycNET, Medline, CINAHL, and Eric using search strings related to CM and partner. We identified 3,238 articles after removal of duplicates; 28 studies met the inclusion criteria and relied on independent sample. The studies reported associations between a person\u2019s CM and a wide breadth of partner\u2019s negative couple outcomes (e.g., communication, sexuality) as well as intra-individual psychological difficulties (e.g., psychological distress, emotion, and stress reactivity). Meta-analytic results showed significant, but trivial to small associations between a person\u2019s CM and their partner\u2019s lower relationship satisfaction ( r\u2009=\u2009\u2212.09, 95% CI [\u2212.14, \u2212.04]), higher intimate partner violence ( r\u2009=\u2009.08, [.05, .12]), and higher psychological distress ( r\u2009=\u2009.11, [.06, .16]). These associations were similar for women and men and did not differ as a function of sample\u2019s mean age, proportion of cultural diversity, and publication year. These findings suggest that a person\u2019s CM is related to their partner\u2019s outcomes including to the partner\u2019s intra-individual outcomes. Prevention and intervention strategies should acknowledge that a person\u2019s CM may also affect their romantic partner, considering the couple as a reciprocal system, and offer victims\u2019 romantic partners specific services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380231173427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,20]],"date-time":"2023-05-20T08:44:36Z","timestamp":1684572276000},"page":"1150-1167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Partner Effects of Childhood Maltreatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8634-3463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-Pier","family":"Vaillancourt-Morel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5510-3520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c8ve-Line","family":"Bussi\u00e8res","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Chlo\u00e9","family":"Nolin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7262-7174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-\u00c8ve","family":"Daspe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0039715"},{"key":"bibr2-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15295192.2016.1158602"},{"key":"bibr3-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260520965972"},{"key":"bibr4-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0086816"},{"key":"bibr5-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02674659308404502"},{"key":"bibr6-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10538712.2020.1825148"},{"key":"bibr7-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jrsm.12"},{"key":"bibr8-15248380231173427","volume-title":"Comprehensive meta-analysis version 3","author":"Borenstein M.","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr9-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9781119558378.ch7"},{"key":"bibr10-15248380231173427","volume-title":"Attachment and loss: Attachment","volume":"1","author":"Bowlby J.","year":"1969"},{"key":"bibr11-15248380231173427","first-page":"175","volume-title":"The APSAC handbook on child maltreatment","author":"Briere J.","year":"2002","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr12-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-6811.2010.01316.x"},{"key":"bibr13-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2019.04.037"},{"key":"bibr14-15248380231173427","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838020975895"},{"key":"bibr15-15248380231173427","volume-title":"Applied meta-analysis for social science research","author":"Card N.
