“…Lundahl et al (2010) conducted a systematic review of the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on SUD, gambling, health-related behaviors, and engagement in treatment and found similar results, that is, the greater the dose of motivational strategies received, the better the outcomes. This body of evidence highlights the importance of incorporating motivational strategies to significantly increase treatment compliance among IPV offenders (Miller & Rollnick, 2002;Musser et al, 2008;Soleymani et al, 2018). These findings have important practical implications, especially considering high dropout rates in IPV offender programs and the link between dropout and higher rates of recidivism reported (Jewell & Wormith, 2010;Lila et al, 2020;Lila et al, 2019;Olver et al, 2011;Stoops et al, 2010).…”

“…Finally, based on this systematic review and meta-analyses, the following recommendations for future trials can be made. Longer follow-up periods are necessary to appropriate assess persistence of change (Alexander et al, 2010;Soleymani et al, 2018). Also, it is important to accurately report follow-up start point.…”

“…They concluded that the, "Results indicated that IPV interventions that incorporated motivational strategies were significantly more effective in increasing the intervention dose and reducing dropout than interventions without motivational strategies" (p. 175). Soleymani et al (2018) arrived at a similar conclusion based on a meta-analysis of five studies. This metaanalysis showed that motivational interviewing as a pretreatment adjunct improved level of engagement, sessions attendance, and homework compliance.…”

Executive Summary/Abstract Background Survey research and analysis of police records, hospital emergency rooms, and women's shelters have clearly established the severity of the intimate partner violence problem and the need to find programs to address this issue. Roughly 1 in 4 women in an intimate relationship is a victim of intimate partner violence. Court‐mandated batterer intervention programs (BIPs) have been implemented throughout the United States as a leading method to address this problem. These programs are also now implemented in Canada and Europe. These programs emerged from the women's shelter movement leading to programs with a strong feminist orientation, such as the Duluth Model. The programs that were developed were group‐based and relied on psychoeducational methods. Their aim was to get men to take responsibility for their sexist beliefs and stop abusing their partners by teaching them alternative responses for handling their anger. More recent programs draw from cognitive‐behavioral therapeutic principles or a mix of the latter with feminist components as well. Objectives This is an update of our prior review. The aim was to assess the effects of postarrest court‐mandated interventions for intimate partner violence offenders that target, in part or exclusively, male batterers. Our focus was on studies aimed at reducing intimate partner violence, above and beyond what would have been expected by routine legal procedures (e.g., probation monitoring, etc.). Search Methods We searched numerous databases and websites, bibliographies of published reviews of related literature, and a scrutiny of annotated bibliographies of related literature. Our goal was to identify all published and unpublished literature that met our selection criteria. The original review identified nine eligible studies. The updated search identified two new studies. The total sample size across these 11 studies was 4824. Selection Criteria We included experimental (random assignment) and quasi‐experimental evaluations of court‐mandated BIPs that measured official or victim reports of future intimate partner violence. Rigorous quasi‐experimental designs were defined as those that either used matching or statistical controls to improve the comparability of the treated (program) and untreated (comparison) groups. The original review also included quasi‐experimental designs that used treatment drop‐outs as the comparison group. Given the serious selection bias of such studies, these have not been included in this update. Data Collection and Analysis We coded characteristics of the treatment, sample, outcomes, and research methods. Findings were extracted in the form of an effect size and effect sizes were analyzed using the inverse‐variance weight method of meta‐analysis. Official report and victim report outcomes were analyzed separately as were the different design types (i.e., random assignment and quasi‐experimental designs with a no treatment comparison). Results The mean effect for official reports of intimate partner violen...

“…Yet, not securing participants' commitment jeopardises successful programme completion, a key potential tool in reducing abuse of intimate partners. Such abuse has serious health and social ramifications for partners and families (Costa et al, 2015;Soleymani, Britt, & Wallace-Bell, 2018). In the UK in 2017/18, an estimated 2 million adults aged 16 to 59 experienced some form of intimate partner abuse (Office for National Statistics, [ONS] 2018).…”

There has been increased interest in the subjective experiences of participants of community Partner Abuse Intervention Programmes (PAIPs). In the context of high attrition rates, qualitative research is needed to understand the factors associated with sustained engagement and drop-out. Using a community non-mandated PAIP, the current study is a rare investigation of the experiences of both completers and non-completers. We explored i) the differences between completers' and non-completers' perceptions of the treatment process, ii) the reasons for sustained programme engagement, and iii) the perceived outcomes of treatment. Semi-structured interviews were completed with 14 participants, nine completers and five non-completers. The majority of participants were referred by children's social care, and were unemployed at the time of interview. The interviews were conducted by research staff independent from the treatment-providing organisation. Three themes emerged from the data, these were: (i.) Treatment as Challenging Yet Enlightening; (ii.) the Importance of a Well-timed and Safe Therapeutic Environment; and (iii.) Improved Emotional Selfmanagement Due to Treatment. Results highlighted how structured individualised sessions, underpinned by a strong therapeutic-alliance with facilitators, helped participants increase their interpersonal problem-solving and communication skills. The study reinforced the importance of developing a therapeutic alliance and providing structured individualised treatment characterised by flexibility and accessibility. Non-completion was perceived as related to known risk factors and treatment readiness. Therefore, it may be beneficial to employ screening measures to monitor these factors. Future research should use larger, more diverse samples to further investigate subjective experiences of PAIP completers and, particularly, non-completers to enhance the limited literature in this area.
