Current perspectives on men who batter women - implications for intervention and treatment to stop violence against women

Article Abstract:

The research by J.M. Gottman and colleagues on the psychophysiology of male batterers opens up a significant new approach to look at the psychology of domestic violence. Before this seminal research, the understanding and treatment of batterers was approached in the context of physical power and control needs. Ethical issues relating to welfare of battered women are discussed.
