Full Description
The sixth edition of Alternatives to Domestic Violence is an interactive treatment workbook designed for use with a wide variety of accepted curricula for intimate partner violence intervention programs.
The new edition adds to and revises the exercises and stories, including revisions to the chapters on parenting, substance abuse, and religion that deepen readers' understanding of controlling behaviors based on current literature and group member feedback. The exploration of digital abuse has been expanded to a stand-alone chapter and the "Voice of My Partner" exercises have been added to most chapters to encourage group members to explore the impact of their behavior and learn and practice the development of empathy.
This workbook is a vital resource for leaders and members of intimate partner violence groups.
