Counselling for Domestic Violence?

Question

Why isn't individual and relationship counselling an affective response to perpetrators of domestic and family violence.

Please cite references with your answer, all uncited responses will be ignored.

Thank you

Answer 1

There is a significant point of denial in man and the act of violence against the opposite s*x and the same is for the victim. There must be an sincere obligation to both parties to work for the better. Our society is not like all in the world and a few look at domestic abuse as a cultural item and not immoral as we do. There is also immaturity in the abuser which causes an irresponsibility. Again you must have both parties pulling the wagon in the same direction or you'll fall in the ditch!  

Answer 2

When a person spends their life treating a partner (or partners over many years) with disrespect, a sense of superiority, and with aggression, it's unlikely that they will "change" in any significant way via counselling.

Unless of course, they are desperate b/c they're about to lose their marriage. Often by then, the partner gives up.

Answer 3

Do you own coursework.
