Abstract
In this study, data is presented from a sample of 52 male domestic violence offenders
who were court mandated to attend a profeminist psycho-educational rehabilitation
program in the West Midlands. The extent of both statistically and clinically significant
psychological change achieved across a variety of measures (pro-domestic-violence
attitudes, anger, locus of control, interpersonal dependency) assessed pre- and posttreatment,
and their association with post-treatment re-offending within an 11-month
follow-up period is examined. The results indicate that program completers achieved
limited significant psychological change. However, the level of psychological change
achieved had no association with re-offending.
