Abstract:
It is now known that group treatment dropout rate for men who are violent towards their spouse constitutes a problem. The goal of this study is to verify if a link exists between attrition in a treatment for violent men and both partners's personal (age, revenue, substance abuse, having been subjected to violence as children) and marital variables (dyadic adjustment, anger, attribution, attachment style and violent behavior). Eighty men enrolled in a group treatment for marital violence have been recruited. Correlational analysis showed us that age is the only variable correlated with treatment dropout. The younger the participants, the most likely they were to drop out of the group therapy. These results will be further discussed.
