Group Therapy Intervention for Male Batterers: A Microethnographic Study.

Pandya, Varsha; Gingerich, Wallace J.

Health & Social Work, v27 n1 p47-55 Feb 2002

The study discussed in this article describes change processes in abusers and examines the dynamics of unsuccessful processes. In doing so, this study provides a useful evaluation of group therapy as it is offered to batterers. Implications for microethnographic methods are discussed for social work students learning to evaluate their practice. (Contains 23 references.) (BF)
