The violence of men

by Cloé Madanes

In this timely book, renowned family therapist Cloe Madanes presents a therapy of social action - a proven model of therapeutic intervention developed for professionals who work with violent men. At the very heart of this approach is the conviction that the offender is fully responsible for his actions. A therapy of social action requires the offender to acknowledge his violent actions, demonstrate authentic repentance, make amends to the victim, and find acceptable alternative behaviors.
