Notes:  Taken from 'Work with men at the crossroads? A review of Edward Gondolf's latest book' by Rodney Vlais, Policy and Practice Co-ordinator, No To Violence Male Family Violence Prevention Association (NTV) Inc from the Australian Domestic & Family Violence Newsletter #50

"...Gondolf's book is a very important read for policy workers, program managers and practitioners in the field. His call to reassess the hype surrounding evidence-based practice and for research to be more practitioner-driven is vital if we are to obtain a true picture of the possible effectiveness of this work. Moreover, his analysis is an important antidote to any calls to reject a Duluth-influenced, gender-based approach to the work. It is an informed plea to embrace evolution and innovation rather than engage in a complete 90 or 180 degree turn."
