Book excerpt: The field of batterer intervention is currently exploring new techniques and approaches for increasing victim safety and reducing batterer recidivism. Traditional approaches to batterer intervention, such as the Duluth model, have proven to be inconclusive in effecting changes to both victim safety and batterer recidivism. Current research directs attention towards incorporating evidenced-based and research-informed practices found in clinical frameworks. These clinical frameworks include the strengths perspective, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Gestalt therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness skills. This project aims to create a batterer intervention curriculum, facilitator guide, and survey instrument that incorporate these clinical frameworks to achieve the primary goals of batterer intervention.
