Recenzje

"Alternatives to Domestic Violence provides critical insights into the development and progression of abusive behaviors. Through enlightening exercises, they challenge ingrained beliefs and provide a clear and concise means for individuals to examine their behaviors and make choices about their futures." - Meg Kennedy Dugan, MA, executive director, Voices Against Violence

"Fall and Howard have developed a definitive and indispensable resource to accompany and optimize the outcomes of the complex process of domestic violence treatment programs. The explanations and exercises throughout the book allow both facilitators and group members to tap into and explore the central issues in this treatment protocol more deeply, more personally, and more effectively, leading to enhanced outcomes and greater success rates." - Roger R. Hock, PhD, professor of psychology at Mendocino College and coauthor of It's My Life Now: Starting Over After Relationship Abuse

"Kevin Fall and Shareen Howard give facilitators abundant exercises specifically designed to produce positive change in battering men. The exercises encourage men to take a deep dive into their rooted power and control beliefs. Used as a complimentary tool alongside a state-approved curriculum and facilitated group discussion, Alternatives to Domestic Violence is a solid resource for facilitators working with men to leverage positive change." - Maria Jose Angelelli, director support to service providers, Texas Council on Family Violence
