DV-8 Post-Test

In California, only 50% of mandated offenders complete a BIP

The National Violence Against Women Study (NVAWS) found that Controlling-Coercive Violence is experienced by 36% of women who reported any abuse, and by 15% of men

Controlling-Coercive Violence is more commonly known as battering

Women, who are more physically impacted, usually have greater fear of their partner; but men’s aggression is often checked by male norms of chivalry

PASK is:

A comprehensive literature review found that 57.9% of the partner violence reported was:

According to the NISVS survey, the group that is the most physically victimized, stalked, or raped by a partner consists of:

Which of the following is not a major risk factor for IPV?

Controlling-Coercive Violence is another term for battering

A basic premise of CBT is that the primary vehicle for change comes from gaining insight, overcoming inner resistance, working through inner conflicts, healing past trauma, and feeling understood in a supportive therapeutic environment.

One of the reasons there is not enough cooperation among the various stakeholders in the field of domestic violence is that some view DV as a social and behavioral problem, and others see it as mostly a mental health problem

The CBT approach targets thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through psychoeducation, homework assignments, and cognitive reframing

The type of perpetrator who has engaged in infrequent acts of physical violence against their partner, and is not especially controlling or emotionally abusive can be categorized as:

There are two ways to conceptualize domestic violence. One is to think of it as on a continuum from completely unilateral abuse to completely mutual, or bi-lateral. The other way is to think of it as on another continuum, from…

The well-known BIP model that finds the primary cause of DV to be beliefs held by men about their privilege in society, and that seeks to educate them about the patriarchal actions they use to control women, is known as:

Among the features of Motivational Interviewing are:

Years of clinical experience per se don’t predict treatment outcomes, and neither does time devoted to improving therapy skills

A national survey found that BIP facilitators tend to underestimate the importance of personality, having an aggressive partner, and unemployment/low income as risk factors

Current state mandates regarding batterer intervention, such as a prohibition against couples counseling, or a prescribed model of treatment, are generally well-supported by research scholars

There is research evidence for differential treatment based on low-risk versus high-risk categories

Which of the following is the most methodologically-sound type of research?

One meta-analytic review by Babcock found small effect sizes for BIPS overall, and especially when the study relied on:

A good definition of evidence-based practice is:

The RNR model refers to an intervention approach that considers:

There is some overlap between the Duluth and CBT models

You should not expect resistance when working with any involuntary clients, because few of them actually mistrust authority

Motivational Interviewing is an empirically-supported approach to overcoming client resistance

The difference between one model of treatment versus another (e.g., Duluth versus CBT) is greater than common factors such as client-therapist/facilitator alliance, goal-setting or empathy

When working with a variety of clients within a one-size-fits curriculum, it is important to have:

Which of the following is not a limitation of peer-led groups?

Reducing premature client termination requires that the therapist/group facilitator:

Which of the following statements is correct?

The “Big Three” areas of group treatment include curriculum content, facilitator-client relationship, and group leadership

The risk factor literature suggests that curricula (e.g., Duluth) that focus primarily on male gendered attitudes are appropriate for only a subset of perpetrators

Except in very rare cases, a college degree or professional license automatically makes you a good facilitator

Facilitators are advised to keep an open mind, learn from other models and approaches, and to keep up with new research in the field

Courage, willingness to model, dedication and commitment, self-awareness and sense of humor are characteristics of:

Attendance, contributing, relating to facilitator, contracting (supports group norms), working on own problems, and working on other group members’ problems are:

Facilitators and clients who have been interviewed about the group engagement process say that:
