520 |a This book addresses the issues confronting counselors treating violent men. Beginning with an historical overview and a description of treatment issues, the author moves through a definition of the problem, choices of counseling approaches, and assessment. Then, turning his attention to cognitive-behavioral approaches, he outlines a user-friendly guide to group treatment. Since violent men pose lethality risks for their spouses, a chapter addressing risk assessment and management is included. The concluding chapters probe couples therapy, cross-cultural issues, and stalking prevention. The author cautions that in light of the potential high lethality inherent in dealing with domestic violence cases, this book should be used only by licensed mental health professionals, criminal justice personnel, or paraprofessionals with extensive training in the assessment and treatment of the violent individual. Unlicensed professionals, in particular, should understand the limits of their knowledge and experience and know when to consult with trained professionals.
