Since the 1970s, the United States has seen an emergence of intervention programs aimed at reducing the incidence of domestic violence. Research evaluating these programs shows little evidence that the current treatment paradigm has been effective at reducing incidences of violence in families. The current paper will review effectiveness research and the most prominent theories serving to inform the direction of domestic violence intervention in the US. This paper will outline difficulties in the current treatment paradigm and speculate about possible limitations, particularly regarding the theoretical conceptualization of domestic violence. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Frame Theory, and functional contextualism are presented as a new framework for conceptualizing and treating domestic violence offending behavior. A comprehensive ACT treatment protocol is presented for use with domestic violence offenders. Proposed methods for evaluating the treatment program and proposed directions for future research with the protocol will be presented.
