title: Working with shame in the group treatment of male batterers.
abstract: The authors argue that shame is a core issue for many men who assault their partners. Shame must therefore be addressed in treatment groups. This article outlines how one intervention, "the confession," elicits shame and how that shame is negotiated through the various stages of group development.
