Gender-Based Perspectives on Batterer Programs responds to the
intense debate about the approach and effectiveness of batterer
programs, especially in light of the "evidence-based practice"
movement. But it does so through a collection of 24 interviews with
batterer program founders and leaders who have been working in the
field for 25 to 35 years. In the process, it answers many of the
misconceptions and misrepresentations of batterer programs, and
highlights their contributions and development. It also offers
recommendations to researchers and the field in general that would
help strengthen the work overall. More specifically, the book is a
follow-up to the author's research-oriented book, The Future of
Batterer Programs: Reassessing Evidence-Based Practice
(Northeastern University Press, 2012). That book critically
reviewed the research on batterer programs in light of the demand
for documentation of program effectiveness and documented the
effective role of batterer programs in an intervention system. It
also exposed the need for "evidence-based practice" research to
include the feedback, interpretations, and critique of
practitioners who have their own "evidence" to contribute. In
Gender-Based Perspectives on Batterer Programs, a summarizing
introduction and conclusion on leadership frame the set of leader
interviews. The collection of interviews represents an archive of
the experience and wisdom of long-term workers in the field-many of
whom are on the verge of retirement. This "database" should help
researchers develop more meaningful studies, and ground research
results in actualities of the work. Ideally, the interviews will
also help practitioners realize their commonalities and better
represent themselves to their critics and public in general.
