Solution-Focused Treatment of Domestic Violence Offenders

Mo Yee Lee (Associate Professor, School of Social Work, Associate Professor, School of Social Work, Ohio State University),John Sebold,Adriana Uken,Mo Yee Lee (Associate Professor, School of Social Work, Ohio State University, USA)

Every fifteen seconds someone commits a crime of domestic violence in the United States, and most violators will be court-mandated to receive group treatment. Outcome studies of traditional treatment programs (those with confrontational or educational approaches) indicate high rates of dropping out and low effectiveness, lending urgency to the need to find an alternative method. This book describes a cutting-edge treatment approach that creates effective, positive changes in domestic violence offenders.Solution-focused therapy focuses on holding offenders accountable and responsible for building solutions, rather than emphasizing their problems and deficits. By focusing on solution-talk instead of problem-talk, clients are assisted in developing useful goals and solution behaviors that are then amplified, supported, and reinforced through a solution-building process. The book will be of great interest to professionals and graduate students in social work, psychology, and counseling.
