    Description
    This course will explain the dynamics of domestic violence and the related power and control effects it has on all aspects of relationships and intimacy. It will also examine its interconnectedness with substance abuse, cultural diversity, and family dynamics. The course will teach the tools and techniques for developing anger management skills and other alternatives to violence. In order to meet the counselor "core" training requirements for working within batterers' intervention and counseling programs in California, students will learn the theories and practice the skills necessary for working with abusive offenders, and extremely difficult and resistant clients.
