Working with Men who Batter: Engaging Resistant Men in a Process of Change (ID 327)

Presenters
  • S. MILLER
Session Description
Men who batter are a particularly difficult offender to engage with. They tend to believe they are always right, need to win and will openly resist any perceived imposition. They also believe they are victims of other people and systems which keeps them focused on everyone but themselves. This profile makes for difficult dialogue. However, there are ways to reduce the resistance that comes with these offenders. This session will profile who these men are, what they tend to want and how to use what they give you to move them toward self-reflection. Methods of engagement along with tools that both encourage and teach critical thinking will be covered. The curriculum developed and used by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs in Duluth, MN has been developed for over 30 years and is the most widely used curriculum for men who batter in the world.
