| dc.description.notes | Discusses the effectiveness of treatment programmes designed to change the behaviour of men who are violent toward their partners. A review of literature highlights the difficulties in changing entrenched attitudes and behaviours of male batterers. Outlines some of the theoretical approaches of treatment models, and discusses the strengths and limitations of each, including the ventilation model, psychodynamic therapy, systems or interactional approaches, cognitive behavioural approaches and pro feminist treatment models. Highlights the minimal focus of literature on the impact of culture (specifically in New Zealand) on men’s violent behaviour, and the need to address it to ensure treatment programmes are culturally appropriate. The difficulties in evaluating treatment programmes are outlined, and include problems such as defining “success” and differentiating the effects of the programme from other factors in the participant’s life. While these evaluations have the potential to overestimate the effectiveness of treatment programmes, the author discusses the useful role that they can have, and the areas that contribute to best practice. That is, providing a programme that aims to protect women from their partners’ violence and that can accompany other interventions. | en |
