BE 1 LESS

Approximately 30% of all married couples in the United States report at least one incident of violence between them and 1,300 deaths have occurred nationwide each year as a result of intimate partner violence (LaTaillade, Epstein, & Werlinich, 2006).  LaTaillade and colleagues (2006) study describes the rationale and methods of couple-based interventions designed to treat and prevent intimate partner violence. These conjoint treatments are intended to reduce the incidence of abusive behavior among couples in which one or both couples have engaged in physical aggression. Conjoint treatments focus on anger management and modification on beliefs that supports the use of aggression toward partners during conflict. The Couples Abuse Prevention Program indicates that this program is appropriate in reducing abusive behaviors in couple relationships and bettering communication skills within relationships. Therapy along with conjoint programs targets abusive behavior and offer partners opportunities to reveal fears and abusive experiences toward one another.  These treatments and programs intend to reduce psychological and physical aggression between partners to enhance the quality of the couple’s relationship.
