Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrator Programmes

Abstract

The 'what works' approach to evidence-based practice has emphasized the need for systematic reviews and meta-analyses to explore the effectiveness of correctional interventions. This chapter explores current approaches to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetrator programmes and contrasts these with the empirical evidence in terms of treatment need and treatment efficacy. Recently, there have been a number of reviews commissioned to explore current domestic violence perpetrator provision in several areas of the world. There was little evidence of the need to recognize and accommodate the heterogeneity of perpetrators and their relationship dynamics, despite this responsivity being a key part of the Risk-Needs-Responsivity (RNR) principles. Due to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) programmes generally being the treatment of choice for non-IPV programmes, psychologists attempted to improve the efficacy of Duluth-based group outcomes with the addition of CBT.
