| dc.description.notes | Batterer programmes implemented throughout the United States are group based and often focus on issues of anger management and coping skills, non violent conflict resolution, reducing need for control, and personal accountability for violent behaviour. The authors review some of the already existing studies, which examine reasons for attrition in these batterer programmes, and test some of their assumptions in a study with 61 men enrolled in a batterer programme in a mid-size American city. Their starting assumptions stem from these previous studies, and include demographic variables of race, age, employment, relationship and socioeconomic status as predicting factors to attrition. There are a number of hypotheses in the study, such as that attitudinal and personality variables, and contextual/programme variables might account for attrition more parsimoniously; that attrition would be predicted by frequency and severity of violence, denial of a problem with violence, rigidity of thinking, low levels of self-disclosure, and higher anxiety and constriction in social situations; that it would relate to dependency, maladaptive personality styles; and expectations regarding group counselling, and whether batterer participation in treatment was self-motivated or the result of external pressures. The findings indicated that programme attrition was unrelated to demographic, attitudinal, or personality variables, and it was only the contextual/programme variables of mileage travelled to attend, and external monitoring of attendance, that significantly differentiated treatment rejecters, drop-outs, and treatment continuers. Implications of these findings and locus for future examination are discussed. | en |
