Current treatment solutions for stopping violence are limited to those that focus on resocializing the batterer. Several States often restrict the use of State funds for batterer groups and forbid couples treatment as a primary treatment option, despite the fact that most couples choose to remain in their relationships in the presence of repeated violence. The authors argue for broadening options to include a specific type of couples treatment as part of a coordinated community response to remediate domestic violence. Solution-focused therapy is described as one approach to treating relationships that makes safety a priority and is not victim-blaming. This therapy may be suitable for both couples who want to stay together and couples who desire a safe way to separate. A case example of a couple involved in solution-focused treatment for domestic violence is included. 42 references
