Batterer Intervention Groups: Moving Forward with Evidence-Based Practice
Previous outcome research found domestic violence perpetrator programs (BIPs) to be minimally effective in reducing rates of recidivism. Newer lines of research, which have examined specific treatment approaches across theoretical models, indicate that BIPs can be highly effective. These include Motivational Interviewing and other client-centered approaches, and interviews with BIP clients on group engagement. The presenter will review this research and discuss how treatment providers can use it to improve their program effectiveness, using examples from his Alternative Behavior Choices program in San Francisco.
- Participants will become familiar with the latest cutting-edge research on domestic violence group intervention programs (BIPs).
- Participants will be able to apply this research in their own programs for purposes of assessment.
- Participants will be able to apply this research in their own programs for purposes of group treatment.
