Chat with AIExam 13: B: Intimate Partner Violence
Identify and explain the two most common forms of intervention for male batterers.According to the meta-analysis conducted by Babcock,Green,and Robie (2004),which is the most effective in terms of recidivism?
(35) 
Verified-Duluth model (feminist psychoeducational group therapy): group therapy focusing on challenging the man's perceived right to control his partner; this model is based on the premise that the primary cause of domestic violence is patriarchal ideology
-Cognitive-behavioural therapy: group therapy focusing on the costs of engaging in violence and learning alternative to violence; according to this model,violence is a learned behaviour and use of violence is reinforcing for the offender
-According to the meta-analysis comparing the Duluth model,cognitive-behavioural and other types of treatment,there were no differences in efficacy in terms of recidivism rates
The National Family Violence Prevention Programs developed by the Correctional Service of Canada contain 6 components.Name and briefly describe each of these,and discuss which component has been associated with the best treatment outcomes in research.
(31) VerifiedThe programs include the following components:
■ Motivation .Addresses the offender's level of motivation to change
■ Education .Provides information about the prevalence of intimate violence and the range of abusive behaviours
■ Attitudes .Recognizes the attitudes and beliefs that condone abusive patterns
■ Management of emotions .Provides skills training in controlling feelings of jealousy,anger,and fear of relationship loss
■ Skills building .Provides training on the social and communication skills that underlie healthy relationships,such as negotiation and responding appropriately to criticism
■ Relapse prevention .Develops avoidance strategies to sidestep high-risk situations and coping plans for use when the high-risk situation cannot be avoided
Motivation is considered to be a critical factor in enhancing treatment outcomes.In a recent evaluation of the MIFVPP,Conners,Mills,and Gray (2012)found that incarcerated male batterers who were more motivated learned the skills faster and were more engaged with treatment than less motivated offenders.
The Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS; Straus,1979)and the updated CTS2 (Straus et al.,1996),a scale used to measure domestic assault,has been criticized on many grounds.List the four criticisms specified in your text.
(33) Verified-The CTS is introduced by asking respondents to focus on how they settle disputes; however,many acts of violence are not precipitated by an argument,and therefore may go unreported.
-The CTS does not include the full range of violent acts (e.g.,sexual aggression is excluded).
-The CTS does not consider the different consequences of the same aggressive act for men and women (e.g.,greater injury generally occurs when a man punches a woman than vice versa).
-The CTS does not account for motive of violence (i.e.,offensive versus defensive).
Name and briefly describe the three-phase cycle of abuse proposed by Lenore Walker (1979).Discuss what happens at each phase.
(40) Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart (1994)developed a typology of male batterers based on the severity of violence,generality of violence,and personality disorder characteristics.Name and define each of the three types of batterers.
(38) Name and briefly describe the three components included in Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory of intimate violence.
(30) Kropp,Hart,and Lyon (2002)have formulated a typology that classifies stalkers into four categories based on their relationships with their victims.Name and describe the key characteristics of all four categories.
(35) Name and briefly describe the levels that influence intimate violence in the nested ecological model proposed by Dutton (1995).Provide one example for each level.
(31) According to Rosenfeld (2004),what variables are significantly related to violence amongst stalkers (relative to those who pose a low risk of behaving violently)? What two factors are specifically associated with the greatest risk for continuing stalking behaviour after release from prison?
