This training provides attendees an overview of Domestic Violence-Focused Couples Treatment (DVFCT) and guidelines for how to incorporate the model’s core techniques into clinical practice. Attendees will learn how to screen couples to determine their appropriateness for conjoint couple’s work, ways to prepare each partner for conjoint treatment, and techniques to use in conjoint IPV-focused partner therapy sessions.Developed by Drs. Sandra Stith, Eric McCollum, and Karen Rosen at Virginia Tech, DVFCT uses a con-joint couples treatment approach to help partners learn new techniques for managing conflict and ending violence, regardless of whether or not they choose to remain together or co-parent. Evaluation of the DVFCT approach has demonstrated that the model is effective for couples in a variety of contexts, includ-ing military families and parents involved with child protective services for child maltreatment.

Really? Women initiate their abuse? Give me a break. There’s no excuse!

That's not what she was saying. She's saying both partners could be contributing to the domestic violence.
