“…Furthermore, some studies exploring batterers' prior domestic violence arrests have found first-time offenders to be most likely to complete treatment (Babcock & Steiner, 1999;Bennett et al, 2007), whereas others have found offenders with greater histories of domestic violence to be more likely to complete treatment (Dalton, 2001). Research also has explored whether offenders who are court mandated to treatment are more likely to complete treatment than men who are not mandated, but findings are mixed with respect to whether treatment referral source is related to attrition (Dalton, 2001;Faulkner, Cogan, Nolder, & Shooter, 1991).…”

Attrition from domestic violence treatment programs is of concern to correctional treatment providers because batterers who do not complete treatment are at higher risk for recidivism. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which various demographic, violence-related, and intrapersonal variables predict attrition from domestic violence treatment programs for male batterers. A total of 30 studies that focused on in-program attrition and were published in English between 1985 and 2010 were included in the meta-analysis. Several variables distinguished treatment completers from dropouts, including employment, age, income, education, marital status, race, referral source, previous domestic violence offenses, criminal history, and alcohol and drug use. Furthermore, the theoretical orientation of the treatment program (i.e., feminist psychoeducational vs. cognitive-behavioral therapy) was found to be an important moderating variable. Findings suggest that the variables that predict attrition tend to be the same variables that predict recidivism and are discussed in relation to the responsivity principle.

“…Saunders et Parker (1989) confirment que, outre le fait que les clients plus jeunes sont plus portés à abandonner le traitement, ces derniers sont plus enclins à laisser tomber la thérapie s'ils participent volontairement et s'ils n'ont pas été référés par la cour, en comparaison avec deux autres groupes, soit les hommes jeunes référés par la cour et les hommes plus vieux qui ne sont pas référés par la cour. Certains chercheurs suggèrent même que l'origine de la référence à la thérapie (par la cour ou par initiative personnelle), constituerait le meilleur prédicteur de l'abandon (Faulkner et al, 1991 ;Hamberger et Hastings, 1989 ;Saunders et Parker, 1989). Ondovic et Rosenbaum (1995) confirment cette observation et rapportent que chez des hommes violents soumis à un groupe de thérapie de 20 semaines, ceux qui consultaient suite à une requête de la cour avaient un taux de complé-tion de 77 %, en comparaison avec les hommes qui consultaient de façon volontaire, qui eux avaient un taux de complétion de 41 %.…”

Il est reconnu que le taux d’attrition très élevé chez les hommes qui suivent un traitement pour violence conjugale constitue un problème sérieux. La présente recherche tente de vérifier s’il existe un lien entre les variables individuelles (âge, revenu, abus de substances, avoir été témoin ou victime de violence à l’enfance) et celles liées au couple (ajustement dyadique, colère, attributions, style d’attachement, comportements violents) et l’abandon thérapeutique chez ces hommes. Quatre-vingt hommes inscrits à une thérapie de groupe pour hommes violents ont été recrutés. Des analyses corrélationnelles ont été effectuées. Seul l’âge du participant est ressorti comme étant corrélé au taux d’attrition. Plus les participants étaient jeunes, plus ils avaient tendance à abandonner la thérapie avant la fin du programme. Les implications de ces résultats sont discutées.

“…rates after treatment starts are generally lower, averaging 38% across eight studies and ranging from 14 to 56% (DeMaris, 1989;Faulkner et al, 1991;Gondolf & Foster, 1991;Grusznski & Carrillo, 1988;Hamberger & Hastings, 1986, 1989Petrik et al, 1993;Saunders & Parker, 1989). Attrition rates are likely to differ across programs because of differing completion criteria and lengths of treatment (Davis & Taylor, 1998).…”

“…A number of studies have focused on batterers who began counseling and then discontinued prematurely, using primarily demographic and background variables (Cadsky et al, 1996;DeMaris, 1989;Faulkner et al, 1991;Hamberger & Hastings, 1989;Petrik et al, 1993;Saunders & Parker, 1989). Demographic and violence factors appear to be stronger predictors of during-program completion than of preprogram completion (Saunders & Parker, 1989).…”

“…The second purpose of the study was to focus on preprogram attrition as distinct from in-program attrition. Some studies blur this distinction by grouping together the pre-and during-counseling attrition into one category (e.g., Grusznski & Carrillo, 1988), or eliminate from analysis those men who reject treatment (e.g., DeMaris, 1989;Faulkner et al, 1991). However, as Baekeland and Lundwall (1975) assert, precounseling dropouts may represent different kinds of clients with different reasons for dropping out.…”

This study examines the predictors of precounseling attrition, incounseling attrition, and duration of attendance in 2 group programs for men who batter. Predictors of precounseling attrition were a history of child abuse, being non-White, and having more self-reported anger. Younger age and antisocial personality were significant predictors of attrition during counseling in both logit and Zero Inflated Poisson regression analyses. We further identified predictors of attrition by type of group treatment. In cognitive-behavioral groups, younger age, no reports of violence in childhood, and antisocial personality were significantly related to attrition. In process-psychodynamic groups, low income was related to attrition. Program and research implications of these findings are discussed.
