dc.description.notesProvides an overview of the arguments for and against the use of this form of intervention with domestic violence. Outlines what the authors term a 'beginning framework' to help clinicians identify the presence of battering (universal screening) and to assist their decisions about whether couple therapy can be safely considered. This includes a definition of battering, which differentiates this from physical aggression alone (unless it serves to enhance the man's control); three preconditions for the conduct of an assessment possibly leading to couple therapy (voluntary participation by the man; special agreements regarding confidentiality; and an 'optimal therapeutic stance'); the sequence of assessment; assessment of violence and lethality (where the presence of a single risk factor rules out conjoint therapy); and six criteria for assessing the feasibility of couples work. While the foregoing are based on a screening to identify domestic violence, the authors also outline their approach to two other scenarios: when violence is disclosed prior to the couples session and when disclosure of violence occurs spontaneously in a couples session. Concludes with a range of cautions about the use of couples therapy with domestic violence. Argues that assessment of all couples presenting for couple therapy should be part of every intake interview.en
