Toward a Taxonomy of Batterers

Abstract

This article illustrates, by way of vignettes, a segment of the battering population that does not benefit from the widely used psychoeducational power-and-control intervention. In light of a legislative trend to institutionalize this model, treatment programs for abusive partners that draw on research to establish guidelines and standards are needed. A taxonomy of batterers distinguished by primary social functioning problems as explicated in person-in-environment theory is also needed. The authors also present a taxonomy of abusive partners based on person-in-environment theory.
