Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-150).
This book has been written primarily as a resource for men who abuse their partners. It has a number of stories from the voices of men and couples who report on their experiences of intimate partner abuse. The men in the stories have attended stopping violence programmes, and they describe moving and compelling accounts of change in their lives. Through hearing their voices, the book allows an understanding of how to help men embrace a lifestyle based upon respect and power sharing. Also included in the book is a chapter on Samoan society which gives a Pacific cultural perspective on the issue of intimate partner abuse.
