A group for men who abuse their partners: participant perceptions of what was helpful.
This exploratory study of 88 self-reports examined the subjective perceptions of men attending a group treatment program to address their violent and abusive behaviors. For the majority of participants, this was a positive experience, with education and self-control described as the most helpful learning experience. No clear themes emerged regarding negative experiences with the group.
