Notes:	Study of the efficacy of cognitive behavioural interventions with perpetrators of domestic violence on a US naval base. Men were randomly assigned to one of four interventions: a men’s cognitive behavioural group; a couples’ counselling group using a cognitive behavioural approach; rigorous monitoring of the men; and no intervention with the men (although safety planning was implemented with the women partners). No differences were found between the treatment and control groups on four outcome measures (self report by the men and their partners; the modified Conflict Tactics Scale; police and court reports; and date of the first repeat case of spouse abuse) during a year-long follow-up. Concludes that: ‘The interventions of the cognitive-behavioral model failed to produce meaningful changes in the behaviour they were designed to impact’.
