The purpose of this manual is to inform clinicians of the general structure and the common procedures necessary for successful treatment of court-mandated perpetrators of domestic violence. The vast majority of clients referred for treatment receive group intervention. Therefore, the establishment of standard procedures is necessary to provide continuity between clients, within and between groups. Additionally, since the primary goal of treatment is to reduce the risk of further violence, many of these procedures have been established specifically to facilitate the attainment of that goal.
The Domestic Violence Court-Mandated Perpetrator Treatment Program includes theoretical material as well as concrete treatment goals and interventions necessary to develop effective intervention programs for male and female perpetrators of domestic violence. This manual may be utilized as an "Operations and Procedure's Manual" for programs needing structure and organization. Included in the manual are most of the forms programs will need to get started in developing their clinical and organizational structure.
Also included are Domestic Violence Software titles for Windows and Macintosh on CD.

This inventory also provides a numerical breakdown of the approximate number of physical, sexual and psychological violent acts.
