TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Changing men who batter: A developmental model for integrated interventions JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Gondolf, Edward W. SP - 335 EP - 349 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - Kohlberg's theory of moral development is adopted to explain the change process of men who batter their wives and offer a rationale for implementing interventions. The theory presents six successive stages of development. The modality of an intervention, therefore, needs to be suited to the stage specific reasoning processes. Moreover, a sequence of integrated interventions is warranted to promote this change process in batterers, rather than only short-term deterrence or counseling programs.
