Education Groups for Men Who Batter: The Duluth Model

by Michael Paymar and Ellen L. Pence

Book Overview

Pence and Paymar are right on target again. Their analysis of battering is excellent and their approach...is straightforward, useful and clear. [The book] tells you what to do with abusive men and how to do it well. [The authors] challenge practitioners to do their work in a manner that is compassionate yet never colluding. Accountability and safety to battered women and creating a process of change for abusive men are central to its success.

Customer Reviews

Must have if you counsel men who batter.

I am myself a recovering batterer. I began my process of change well over ten years ago after attending a Duluth Model program at the Center for Nonviolence in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Previously I had attended two six month long Anger Management Programs conducted by PhD Psychologists and MSW's. Today I conduct a batterers program myself using the Duluth Model outlined and explained in this book. This program has changed my life.
