“…Physical and nonphysical victimization by partners also significantly decreased. However, selfreported physical aggression perpetrated against romantic partners by both mandated and nonmandated women increased after treatment, albeit not significantly (Tutty et al, 2009).…”

“…Some BIPs for women have been found to reduce psychological problems such as stress and depressive symptoms in women (Tutty et al, 2009), psychological PA perpetrated by women Tutty et al, 2006Tutty et al, , 2009, and PA victimization in women (Tutty et al, 2009;Wray et al, 2013). However, there is currently no evidence that BIPs reduce physical partner aggression perpetrated by women.…”

“…Most BIPs that have been evaluated in the field thus far do not seem to actively target such problems. Participants in the Responsible Choices for Women program reported reductions in depression and stress at the end of treatment, but unfortunately, their physical IPV perpetration rates increased, although not significantly (Tutty et al, 2009). …”

“…Existing evidence does not provide evidence for any contraindication for mixed-gender groups. Only a few studies have quantitatively examined treatment outcomes for women in BIPs (Buttell, 2002;Carney & Buttell, 2004aTutty et al, 2006Tutty et al, , 2009Wray et al, 2013), and there have been no RCTs evaluating court-mandated treatments for female perpetrators of IPV. Across studies, there are some promising effects of BIPs for women in terms of psychological variables and reductions in nonphysical forms of abuse.…”

Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programs: A Proposal for Evidence-Based Standards in the United States

In the United States, the judicial system response to violence between intimate partners, or intimate partner violence (IPV), typically mandates that adjudicated perpetrators complete a batterer intervention program (BIP). The social science data has found that these programs, on the whole, are only minimally effective in reducing rates of IPV. The authors examined the social science literature on the characteristics and efficacy of BIPs. More than 400 studies were considered, including a sweeping, recently conducted survey of BIP directors across the United States and Canada. Results of this review indicate that the limitations of BIPs are due, in large part, to the limitations of current state standards regulating these programs and, furthermore, that these standards are not grounded in the body of empirical research evidence or best practices. The authors, all of whom have considerable expertise in the area of domestic violence perpetrator treatment, conducted an exhaustive investigation of the following key intervention areas: overall effectiveness of BIPs; length of treatment/length of group sessions; number of group participants and number of facilitators; group format and curriculum; assessment protocol and instruments; victim contact; modality of treatment; differential treatment; working with female perpetrators; working with perpetrators in racial and ethnic minority groups; working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) perpetrators; perpetrator treatment and practitioner–client relationships; and required practitioner education and training. Recommendations for evidence-based national BIP standards were made based on findings from this review.

“…Researchers demonstrate that mandated counselling can increase compliance with court ordered programming, reduce reoffending, and assist at-risk students (Kiracofe & Buller, 2009;McMurran, 2007;Snyder & Anderson, 2009). On the other hand, studies have demonstrated that mandated treatment is not effective because in order for a person to be successful, he or she needs to enter treatment voluntarily, which mandated programming does not allow (Kiracofe & Buller, 2009;Tutty, Babins-Wagner & Rothery, 2009). In addition, success is in the eye of the beholder as those mandated to treatment are viewed less favourably than those who enter voluntarily, which can affect the outcome as well (Vairo, 2010).…”

You’re Not Alone: Mental Health Outcomes in Therapy Groups for Abused Women

Few evaluations have assessed the outcomes of group therapy for women abused by intimate partners. Most group programs emphasize support rather than offering therapy, although women abused by partners often present with significant clinical mental health issues. This paper describes, BYou're Not Alone,^a 14-week therapy group model for women abused by intimate partners informed by a narrative approach Jenkins (The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy, 12 (4), 186-195 1991). The results present the demographic characteristics of the 379 women who began group, and a comparison of those who completed treatment (N=214) versus those who dropped out (N=165). Women with less income and a psychiatric history were less likely to complete group, as were women with higher depression, clinical stress, and mental health symptoms. The pretest/posttest outcome evaluation for the completers used measures of mental health symptoms, self-esteem, depression, and clinical stress, finding statistically significant improvements on most measures with moderate effect sizes. Practice implications and suggestions are presented.
