Abstract

This article offers an integrative model of treatment for law enforcement officers involved in mutual violence as batterers in domestic violence. The model draws on aspects of motivational interviewing, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. The integration of these aspects enhances the inherent strength of each approach and utilizes a technical eclecticism of each perspective while allowing for flexibility and achieving change.

Keywords: Domestic violence; motivational interviewing; solution-focused; cognitive-behavioral therapy
