Alternatives to Domestic Violence: A Homework Manual for Battering Intervention Groups

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book for DV treatment providers
Review: The individual that used to co-facilitated Domestic Violence Treatment groups with me found this book here and ordered it for us to use. We both appreciated the different topics provided in the book, the way it was set-up, the many great assignments to use in group and how issues are presented. It follows the Duluth model, which is what our program follows. The gentlemen in group also enjoy the activities and find the material interesting and applicable. I strongly recommend this book to others to use individually or in the group setting. I have looked through a variety of different books to use in group, though was never instantly attracted to any...though this one was different. The assignments/activities in the book are done in such a way that many of the group members share the information with their partners, thus perpetuating the learning cycle.
