This program powerfully depicts abusive men defending, rationalizing and denying their violence against women. Realistic scenes dramatize common themes and alibis men use to defend themselves against accepting responsibility and facing the impact of their violence on the women and children in their lives. After each dramatic segment, host Maria LaRose and Dale Trimble, a counselor in this field since 1977, examine how counselors, police officers, hospital staff and even neighbours can assist men to really see their violent behaviour for what it is, accept responsibility and end it. Clarity and unflinching directness must be used to place the responsibility for violence where it belongs, with the man who is choosing to use it.

*Includes a 40 page Facilitator's Guide which also contains a Lesson Plan designed specifically for counselors using the video in a therapy group for men who have used violence and abuse in relationships
