Methods Self-report data were collected from 122 women. Analyses controlled for women's baseline depression severity and partner alcohol misuse. Results Women's alcohol misuse moderated the relationship between psychological IPV victimization and postpartum depression only at high levels of the moderator. Discussion and Conclusions Findings highlight the mental health risk posed by the combination of psychological IPV and alcohol misuse postpartum. Scientific Significance Findings emphasize the need to investigate the understudied topic of women's postpartum alcohol misuse. (Am J Addict 2014;23:613-615)
