Numerous studies are reviewed and some earlier views regarding domestic violence are challenged. Treatment providers, criminal justice system personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem - one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights.
