Abstract

The inconsistent results concerning batterers' intervention effectiveness lead the researchers to question the way how the intervention facilitates change. In fact, intervention programs for batterers emphasize mostly the results while the process underlying how changes actually take place remains less studied. Additionally, this kind of analysis leaves a short space for understanding the individuals' subjective experiences during the therapeutic process.
