A Group Treatment Approach

Spouse Abuse is theoretically based in rational-emotive theory and cognitive/behavioral theory. It outlines an excellent treatment plan which includes a time-out contract, anger management skills, communication skills and problem-resolution approaches. It examines irrational beliefs that fuel anger and violence. The book has printed forms for self-evaluation, feeling list handouts and other pratical materials. The content of the book is spousal abuse, but much of the material is applicable toward the improvement of any couple relationship. Spouse Abuse was originally developed as a treatment plan for the United States Marines. The emphasis is on group treatment. Many of the skills can be taught in couple counseling or in individual therapy.
