This paper describes the changing nature of interventions with men who use abusive practices within their families. One-size-fits-all is now questioned as an approach to effective change. This paper brings together thinking that can better inform intervention including newer models (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Relapse Prevention and Accountability Processes), matching interventions to pathways into abusive practice, and aligning intervention dosage with levels of risk. The paper also explores the restraining nature of contemporary interventions in the current contracting environment. (Abstract).Record #4248
