N2  - This article presents the perspectives of battered women, whose partners have been court-ordered to participate in a batterer intervention program, on the program's effects on their partners, themselves, and their families. Through in-depth interviews, 33 women described their experiences, expectations, and feelings before, during, and after their partner participated in the program. The interviewees also discussed the impact of the program on their batterers'behavior and on their own lives. The study sheds light on the effects of program participation on batterers' behavior and the way in which referral and programparticipation affect their female partners. The results underscore the value of incorporating battered women's perspectives and experiences in evaluating the effects of battererintervention programs and designing their service delivery.<p />
