Challenging Men’s Violence Against Women

This timely book presents a new way of working with abusive men, to challenge and support them to take
responsibility for behaviour they use against women
and children. This book clearly outlines a model of
engaging in men's behaviour change, together with an
explanation of the principles underpinning it. A
constructivist approach is used, challenging men's
violence against women. It was developed in rural
Australia and called the Men's SHED (Self Help
Ending Domestics) Project. Personal Construct Theory
provides the foundation for this approach, at an
individual, group and community level. This example
of practice research enables an exploration of
constructive alternatives for challenging men's
abuse and violence. It engenders hope that men can
learn to take responsibility for their own abusive
behaviour and challenge other men to do like wise.
The greater safety and happiness of women, children
and men, is the ultimate aim of this easy to read
practice research.
