A1 - Guzmán, Ricardo A1 - Hernández, Dolores A1 - Zamudio, Efraín A1 - González Ramírez, Dolores SP - 107 EP - 132 VL - 19 IS - 1 N2 - Qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 Latino immigrant men who participated in a culturally informed batterer intervention. The objectives of this investigation were twofold. First, to identify the treatment components that facilitated the participants' willingness to engage in a process of change aimed at terminating their abusive behaviors. Second, to describe the treatment components that led to their satisfaction with the intervention. Research findings confirm that the Spanish version of the Duluth curriculum can be beneficial for Latino immigrant batterers. Results also demonstrate the critical role of culture as it refers to content of the intervention and method of delivery.
