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: Dialectical
Behavior Therapy (DBT) Physical Aggression Couples Treatment (PACT)
attachment theory therapeutically based interventions
feminist/social learning treatment individual, group, and
integrative therapies transpersonal psychology systems thinking
field theory and much more! Intimate Violence: Contemporary
Treatment Innovations is an essential resource for clinicians,
researchers, educators, and advocates working in psychology, social
work, counseling, law, health care, and related disciplines.
