Abstract

The literature has demonstrated acknowledgement of and facilitative services for the female victims of abuse. Today, most metropolitan areas have, at the least, telephone hotlines and, at the most, safe shelters for women and their children, individual and group counseling, _and services which help them_ with legal, medical, and employment questions. By not focusing as much attention on the male abuser similar services for these men have been slighted. By ignoring men, only half of the violence problem has been addressed. To break the pattern of abuse, treatment and services for men who batter are essential (Feazell, Mayers- & Deschner, 1984). As of 1982 there were fewer than a hundred programs, for helping the battering male, in the entire United States (Roberts, 1982).
