Product Description: Violencia Doméstica 2000 was originally developed in English, (Domestic Violence 2000, by D. B. Wexler, published by Norton)using client centered guidelines. The program integrates a lively package of cognitive-behavioral skills and psychoeducation about abuse while maintaining a respectful approach to the abuser himself.
This new Spanish edition is much more than a translation. It contains:Adaptations and expansion of content specific to Latino culture, based on qualitative research, demographic data, and the literature on family violence; an introduction to the Spanish edition, including cultural guidelines on methodology for Latino offenders and therapeutic strategies that are likely to be effective for Latinos; the use of simple vocabulary, with definitions of words that many group members may not have heard. The eight sections are presented from the perspective of Latino clients: foundations, brief interventions, self-management, human rights, parent education, relationship skills, spirituality and prevention, and relapse prevention.
The program includes: a compact disc included with the manual, of relaxation exercises to be used in group, and exercises, handouts, and homework assignments to help clients deal with the powerful issues with which they are struggling. Client packets are also available for purchase.

Definitely the best and most culturally relevant domestic violence manual available.
The model is effective, the translation is solid, and the additional material that specifically addresses the cultural differences we encounter in the Hispanic community makes this book a must-have for any agencies dealing with Spanish-speaking domestic violence clients.
