Abstract:
Reflective groups for men who commit violence against women are intervention
programs that aim to address the violent and aggressive behavior of men in abusive
relationships. They are designed to create a safe space where perpetrators can
reflect on their actions, attitudes and beliefs, with the aim of promoting behavior
change and preventing future aggression. These groups often consisted of group
therapy sessions led by professionals trained in domestic violence and therapy.
During sessions, participants are encouraged to examine their motivations for violent
behavior, understand the impact of their actions on victims, and develop alternative
strategies for handling conflict nonviolently. Additionally, reflective groups often
address issues of gender, power, and control, helping perpetrators recognize
patterns of abusive behavior. These programs have the potential to play an important
role in preventing domestic violence, provided they are implemented ethically and
effectively. It is important to note that the effectiveness of these groups may vary, and
they must be combined with other resources, such as victim support and safety
measures, to fully address the problem of domestic violence. Furthermore,
participation in such groups must be voluntary, and perpetrators must take
responsibility for their own behavior. The research in question aims to discuss
everything that involves the scope of these reflective groups, as well as disseminate
relevant information about their importance in our society.
