Abstract

According to Rynerson and Fishel (1993), domestic violence is a widespread problem deserving research attention, specifically with regard to measuring treatment program outcomes that result in decreasing the incidence and prevalence of domestic violence. While we convey our respect for their exploration in a much needed area, we found a lack of connection between program effectiveness and the variables investigated: locus of control and relationship satisfaction. Moreover, there are several shortcomings with the sample and other methodological problems which weaken the validity of their findings.
