Notes: | General overview: Some researchers are proposing that at least a third of domestic violence perpetrators suffer from “intermittent explosive disorder” (IED), a brain disorder requiring medical treatment. Gondolf argues that the neuroscience underlying this diagnosis is insufficient to justify altering the treatment of batterers and that they should be referred to batterer programs following cognitive-behavioural approaches, requiring men to take responsibility for their behaviour. |
