- Short Description:
- This presentation will challenge the ideologies that have been the sole basis of “Batterer Intervention Programs” for more than 40 years. It will propose that a new foundation for developing, running programs and creating curriculums is necessary. It starts with “Following the Science” as one of the multi-intersectional factors necessary to understand violent behavior, actually any behavior for that matter. It is important to look outside the “traditional field” of batterer intervention that includes the scientific research around the neural-physuilogical processes that are the basis for all behavior as human beings. This presentation then integrates the factors of trauma experience and its effects on behavior. To not use this information today as the basis for intervening with those who are hurtful towards their intimate partners may be, at best, “science ignorance,” or at worst, “science-denying/refusing.”

- Short Description:
- How many clients go through rigorous domestic violence or anger management counselling and still are abusive, or are abusive in different ways, even when they have the tools? It is valuable and necessary obviously to teach those valuable skills in therapy. Peel back the layers however, and it is imperative to go so much deeper with some very simple questions that uncover the ‘why’ of abuse, in each circumstance. We need to better unpack and examine individual choices to be abusive, very little of which is physical, but that emotional and verbal violence that so impairs and damages, and in looking at the ‘why,’ better understand individual choices. In doing so, we may tailor treatment to the many different kinds of abuse, and personalities, rather than using one blanket approach which makes that perhaps egregious assumption that all violence is based on lack of skills and not a desire to hurt.
