Product Description
Take an updated approach to treating partner violence!
Intimate Violence: Contemporary Treatment Innovations examines new and innovative approaches to treating domestic violence, de-emphasizing the unilateral, psychoeducational approach in favor of treatment modalities that focus on the offenders' individual characteristics. The book presents up-to-date information on techniques for working with men and women who commit intimate partner violence, moving past a “one size fits all” mentality to develop treatment that affects long-term changes in beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. It also includes a brief history of perpetrator treatment, feminist perspectives on treatment, and recent research findings that suggest domestic violence offenders need more than education and attitude adjustment.
Intimate Violence explores key treatment issues not usually found in more traditional approaches, particularly shame and attachment. The book focuses on alternate methods based on assessment and tailored to meet the treatment needs of specific populations, including women, lesbian batterers, men with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and Aboriginal men living in Canada. It also examines the Beit Noam, an Israeli live-in intervention program for abusive men, and addresses the legal and ethical issues surrounding the court-mandated treatment of offenders. An international, interdisciplinary panel of practitioners, researchers, and academics also discuss:

First Sentence
SUMMARY. Assaultiveness and abusiveness have a psychology that must be addressed in therapy; they are not merely the product of "bad attitudes" or social roles, nor can they be narrowly defined as the robotic imitation of action. Read the first page

I have this book for over two years now and I keep coming back finishing it. It is hard read especially if you've been in abusive relationship and struggling with understanding who's fault was it and what is my part in it?
It is written by a man, who does not have blaming attitude toward women and trying to look at the situation from all ends. I very much appreciate this book. As a new in counseling profession for me it is a must read.
