counseling
can be very
dangerous
for victims
of domestic
violence.
It is important to
stress that abuse is
not the victim's
fault. Counselors
may need to
address domestic
violence and
substance abuse
with different
interventions.
Confrontational
techniques are
often not
effective with
victims of
domestic abuse.
Some examples
of words to
avoid with
these women
are
codependency,
enabling, and
powerlessness.
It is important
to avoid
codependency
and enabling.
because these
concepts do not
hold the
batterer fully
accountable for
his behavior.
Abusers are capable of transformation
Not all alike: some show no apparent remorse; others are truly appalled at
their behavior.
Must be held personally responsible by the community.
Must establish an environment that is nonjudgmental, nonviolent, and
respectful of women and children.
Must be willing to work through a long process in which he becomes
accountable.
