Notes:	Discusses the findings of a multi-site evaluation of conventional cognitive-behavioural counselling programmes in America for batterers and the preliminary findings of a trial of specialised counselling programme for African American men in the United States. Examines the question of whether mainstream services need to be adapted or diversified to accommodate cultural difference. The absence of previous research in this field is highlighted and some of the limitations of the studies conducted are identified. Concludes that, while some fundamental counselling principles may have relevance across cultural groups, the need for further adaptation of services and approaches remains an important issue for perpetrator intervention.
