"Erica Bowen's book The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men is a timely and important contribution to the literature of effective interventions. The content would be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners"
Dr. Nicola Graham-Kevan, School of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, UK
Violence within intimate relationships is not just a modern occurrence; yet, while the nature of the abuse has changed little over hundreds of years, great strides have been made in dealing with male perpetrators of domestic violence in the UK. The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men presents an historical account of the policy changes that have led to the provision of rehabilitation programmes for male perpetrators of intimate partner violence within the British criminal justice system. Drawing on both national and international literature, the book provides an overview of the theoretical foundation behind current approaches to rehabilitation, as well as a critical examination of evaluation methodology and an appraisal of the effectiveness of current practices.
While probing deeply into the nature of intimate partner-violence, The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men offers rich and revealing insights into the efficacy of intervention programmes, and their profound influences on the lives of millions of women around the world each year.
Erica Bowen is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Coventry University. She has written widely on issues relating to the area of domestic violence.
"In a field that too often substitutes myth for fact, Erica Bowen
has written an immensely thoughtful and well-researched book ...
Bowen gives a critical and balanced review of the research on
incidence and typologies of DV perpetrators, changes to the
criminal justice response, and theories of causality."
