520 3 |a Intimate partner violence (IPV), commonly known as domestic violence, is a widespread social issue that continues to impact many victims. To combat this problem, multiple funded resources target not only the victims’ needs, but also attempt to reduce recidivism rates for domestic violence offenders. Treatment programs for domestic violence offenders have been operational since the 1970s, with curricula directed toward changing power and control dynamics in intimate relationships. Growing research supports the idea that domestic violence offenders have more prevalent histories of childhood trauma and mental health issues, which may increase the risk of IPV perpetration. However, research also shows that current offender treatment may be lacking psychological components to address those underlying issues, due to state certification guidelines that prevent such treatment. This dissertation sought to understand the effectiveness of current offender treatment models by interviewing offender intervention program directors. This study also aimed to gather perceptions from program directors on the role of psychological components in current intervention models while understanding the impact of incorporating more in-depth psychological components in potential future treatment. Results from this research are used to propose and recommend additional intervention components that may help reduce the risk of IPV perpetration.
