In the U.S., a woman is killed at the hands of a chronic batterer every six hours. This video program debunks the myths about domestic violence and focuses on establishing a framework for understanding the batterer. Michael Groetsch, an expert in domestic violence prevention who has interviewed more than 20,000 batterers and their victims, shares his insights. You'll be introduced to the different types of batterers and the different strategies required for helping their victims.

You'll learn:

• Signs and symptoms to look for if you suspect a woman is being abused.
• Techniques for interviewing a victim of battering to produce accurate and complete information.
• Ways to keep yourself safe if you are confronted by the victim's batterer.
• How to assess what category an individual batterer falls into using The Batterer's Profile and the Lethality Questionnaire.
