While social workers receive comprehensive training on how to support survivors and their children in the presence of intra-familial violence, they are unlikely to feel adequately trained and/or confident in working directly with the perpetrators of domestic abuse. This book aims to fill this gap by providing practitioners with a practical, user-friendly resource to increase their confidence in dealing with perpetrators of domestic violence. The book makes a compelling argument for social workers to be equipped with practical tools to work with perpetrators, but it is paramount to be clear on the book’s stated intent by keeping in mind what it does and does not provide. While borrowing from cognitive–behavioural therapy, anger-management programmes and violence programmes, the techniques outlined in the book are to be considered preparatory rather than resolutive. As such, they are not intended to substitute accredited, evidence-based domestic violence programmes, but rather to prepare the perpetrator and assist in managing risk before the appropriate intervention is delivered.
