Ethnically Sensitive Practice to Enhance Treatment Participation of African American Men who Batter

Partner violence is as much a problem for the African American community as it is for other racial and ethnic groups. Although the element of race may have an impact on the effectiveness of traditional treatment approaches to African American men who batter, literature on approaches to reduce this problem among African American men is sparse. The author examines how ethnically sensitive approaches combined with traditional methods may influence treatment outcomes in this population.
