ABSTRACT

If you are like most people we meet who are reading this book, you are probably in a court-mandated group for domestic violence. We understand that most people who come to group in this manner are feeling two main emotions: anger or shame about having to come to a group like this, and confusion about the group process. These emotions are completely normal as you first enter this new experience, and how you handle these emotions will largely determine your learning experience and enjoyment while in group.
