Summary:The prevailing method of working with men who batter is through structured psychoeducational groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The authors contrast the assumptions of cognitive-behavioral with those of process-psychodynamic approaches in working with men who batter. They describe a process-psychodynamic treatment model that was implemented at an abuser-treatment program. The major phases of the group process are illustrated with excerpts of group dialogue.
