Summary: This United States-based book describes a treatment approach - solution-focused therapy - for domestic violence offenders. Solution-focused therapy holds offenders accountable for building solutions, rather than emphasising problems and deficits. The book is aimed at professionals and graduate students in social work, psychology and counselling. The book begins by exploring the argument for using a non-blaming approach. The authors then identify tools for therapists, ways of working with particular groups such as those with psychiatric diagnoses, and methods of evaluating treatment effectiveness. The book includes a discussion of using the approach with other groups.
