Summary
This randomized trial will test a newly developed intervention aimed at fathers who have a history of family violence compared to a standard batterer intervention program.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- A reported an incident of IPV (pushing, slapping, kicking) within the last 12 months prior to screening (based on court/police records, partner or self- report);
- have at least one biological child aged 6 months to 7 years with whom they have contact in person or by phone/facetime etc. at least monthly;
- are able to complete assessments in English;
- agree to have their female coparents (mother of the youngest child) contacted as collateral informants and for consent for participation of their shared child.
Exclusion Criteria
- Men who have an active full/no contact protective order pertaining to their child since this will preclude participation in the father-child play assessment (many men will have full no-contact orders with their partners, but it is more common for men to still be allowed at least supervised contact with their children even with a full/no contact order with their partner);
- physiological addiction to a substance that requires detoxification. Fathers will be evaluated using the Addiction Severity Index and urine toxicology screens. If fathers report difficulties with physiological withdrawal from substances (e.g. delirium tremens, shaking, nausea) they will be referred for detox services. They can be re-evaluated following a detox program with documentation from the detox center of successful completion and clean urine screen.;
- anyone with a cognitive impairment that will not allow for understanding of the study interventions (a mini mental state score <25);
- anyone with a current untreated psychotic disorder;
- anyone currently suicidal or homicidal based on screening using the BSI.
