Abstract

Hayes and colleagues chose a challenging topic in our field to investigate-the role of trauma among perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV). This topic is difficult for numerous reasons including the legal, ethical, and moral issues involved, as well as logistic and feasibility issues. This may explain why so little had been accomplished in this research area prior to the efforts of Dr Taft, coauthor and developer of the Strength at Home Friends and Family intervention, and his team.
