Notes:	Based on qualitative interviews with male social workers who have worked with perpetrators and victims of domestic violence, this book examines what they believe to be the causes of domestic violence and, more significantly, what they believe causes non-violence between partners. The issue of male privilege as a central cause of domestic violence has only been recognised by a few but remains invisible to other interviewees. Various treatment models are reviewed. Correlates of domestic violence, including learned behaviour, sport, media violence, alcohol and drugs and other factors, are analysed. Male privilege and a non-violence profile are discussed. It concludes that there needs to be a public investment in domestic violence counselling, training, accreditation and commitment towards a treatment model which focuses on male privilege and does not present men as victims. It provides a treatment summary with script development and implications for creating non-violence in families and society.
