A multidimensional assessment of a batterer treatment program: An alert to a problem?
Article Abstract:
The goal is to evaluate a batterer intervention program by investing changes in psychological variables related to abuse between pretreatment and posttreatment assessments of men involuntarily placed in treatment and to investigate the differential effectiveness of this same program for African American and Caucasian batterers. The analysis failed to provide empirical support for the contention that both would demonstrate significant changes in the desired direction on psychological variables related to violence.
