Notes:	Compares and contrasts two prominent models of group intervention with men who batter, the feminist education model and the narrative therapy model, highlighting both their differences and similarities. A recent study of group facilitators' perceptions and practices, conducted in Nova Scotia, Canada, is used to illustrate some of the ways in which theoretical differences between the two approaches translate into practice. Whilst it is acknowledged that no one approach can be regarded as superior, and that macro issues associated with violence against women must also be addressed, it is suggested that therapeutic intervention models like the narrative therapy approach have proven highly effective in practice.
