Title: Alternatives to domestic violence
First published: 1999
Description: "Without a doubt, one of the most effective means of working with abusers is through battering intervention groups. Alternatives to Domestic Violence, a practical, hands-on guide, is the first workbook designed for counselors to help abusers recognize and deal with the issues underlying their behavior. Each technique presented in this manual has been tested in actual groups and refined for inclusion. The authors provide case studies and exercises to stimulate active participation by group members." "This workbook is a necessary tool for all psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors involved in battering intervention programs. Teachers will also find it useful as a supplemental text for graduate classes in counseling and psychology. Patterned after recognized approaches including the Duluth Model and AMEND, it is easily integrated into existing curricula."--Jacket.
