- Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs with shocking frequency. The alarmingly high estimated prevalence rates underscore the need for effective treatment interventions. Current treatment models aimed toward reducing relationship violence differ widely across theoretical orientation and mode of service provision. However, based on the review of the extant studies investigating the efficacy of IPV intervention, current treatment models are not more effective at reducing violence compared with no-treatment control conditions. In an effort to improve such interventions, the present article reviews the literature on treatment outcome research and proposes possible ways to improve interventions.
