Applying restorative practices in situations of family violence, however, may endanger the participants unless they are prepared for the deliberations and sufficient safeguards are in place. A starting place for engaging some men who abuse in restorative processes is through their role as fathers. ‘Strong Fathers’ was a group programme for men who had committed domestic violence and were referred by child welfare. The men who persevered with the programme were pulled by their desire to be close to their children and pushed by their sense of what it means to be a man and a father. The often painful process restored rather than punished the participants, and the results point to how to interface treatment programmes and restorative practices.}, number={2}, journal={RESTORATIVE JUSTICE-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL}, author={Pennell, Joan and Sanders, Tia and Rikard, R.

A potential solution is engaging men who abuse in assessing and managing their own risk to family members. This was the aim of a psycho-educational fathering program developed and tested in the southeastern United States. Over the course of the group, the men set goals on how to relate to their children and to their current or former partners, and they reflected on their achievement of these goals. The men's self-appraisals were supported by their caseworkers' assessments. A comparison of child protection data before and after entry in the group showed an extensive decrease in the families assessed with child protection findings and with household domestic violence. The evaluation used a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) that identified configurations of conditions overlapping with child protection outcomes. Some of the men's characteristics included in these configurations ran counter to predictors usually associated with child maltreatment and domestic violence. The evaluation results point to the unique contributions that QCA can make to risk assessment.}, journal={CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES REVIEW}, author={Pennell, Joan and Rikard, R.

Casstevens, Cohen, Newman, and Dumaine (2006) found that the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) factor of anxious depression improved significantly post–workbook completion relative to a comparison group, although BPRS global psychopathology scores did not change significantly (n = 27). Further exploration of available voice-hearing data was indicated, and the present study examined Topography of Voices Rating Scale (TVRS) scores and participant-reported stressors. The TVRS was completed by intervention-group participants (n = 16) without oversight, and 9 participants provided consistently complete TVRS forms that could be scored and graphed. For these participants, no connection was observed between TVRS scores and the presence or absence of reported stressors. Furthermore, pre–post difference scores for the TVRS were relatively unchanged. No evidence of harm was found, indicating that for study participants, the self-help approach reduced anxiety and depression without exacerbating voice hearing.}, number={6}, journal={Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry}, author={Casstevens, W.
