Solution-Focused Treatment of Domestic Violence Offenders: Accountability for Change

by Mo Yee Lee, John Sebold, Adriana Uken

Overview

Solution-Focused Treatment of Domestic Violence Offenders, 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.
