TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - An expanded approach to batterer intervention programs incorporating neuroscience research JO - Trauma, violence, and abuse A1 - Siegel, Judith P. SP - 295 EP - 304 VL - 14 IS - 4 N2 - Batterer Intervention Programs have been critiqued for failing to incorporate treatment strategies that are supported by neurobiology research. This article reviews findings that have informed the treatment of disorders that are strongly represented among perpetrators of intimate violence, such as addiction, posttraumatic stress disorder, mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. The article argues for an expanded perspective that recognizes the relationships among childhood trauma, emotional regulation impairment, and intimate partner violence. Recommendations and ways to draw on emerging knowledge to invigorate existing programs are provided.
