| Publisher Description: Up to 65% of couples who seek therapy for marital problems have had at least one violent episode. Unfortunately, therapists often miss this information because they do not effectively assess for it. This book presents a safety-focused approach to assessment and treatment of couples who choose to remain together after one or both partners have been violent. Since 1997 the authors have been conducting Domestic Violence Focused Couples Treatment (DVFCT), collecting data, and refining the program with the goal of helping couples eliminate all forms of violence and begin on a positive path toward their vision of a healthy relationship. |
