Up to 65% of couples who seek therapy for marital problems have had
at least one prior violent episode. Unfortunately, therapists often
miss this critical information because they do not effectively
assess for it. This book presents a safety-focused approach to
assessment and treatment of couples who choose to remain together
after one or both partners have been violent. Treatment options for
intimate partner violence have evolved alongside the growing
awareness and broader definitions of domestic violence. Since 1997
the authors have conducted Domestic Violence Focused Couples
Treatment (DVFCT), collected data, and refined their program. The
authors outline their assessment and screening process and share
case illustrations to demonstrate when conjoint treatment can be a
safe and viable option. Readers get an overview of the 18-session
course of DVFCT and tips for adapting it for multi-couple groups or
for a single couple. The major tenets of solution-focused therapy,
such as underscoring even the smallest of successes, are emphasized
throughout, as are the following special features: -safety planning
-mindfulness techniques for anger awareness and reduction
-negotiated time-out procedures -drug and alcohol use modules
-psychoeducational tools and materials on violence Therapists will
learn how to assess intimate partner violence and help couples
eliminate all forms of violence and begin on a positive path toward
their vision of a healthy relationship.
