Men who are Violent to Women
is based on a groupwork programme for men convicted against
their partners, which was developed and run by the authors for
seven years at the CHANGE Men's Programme. CHANGE is generally
seen to be in the vanguard of work in this field in the UK. It
offers a model for good theory-based, professionally-delivered,
accountable practice. It has been the subject of widespread
interest from social workers, probation officers, psychologists,
'menswork' groups and others who are concerned with the issue of
domestic violence and, specifically, what to 'do' with the men
responsible.
