The CARE Method: Based on the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model, a Domestic Violence Curriculum for Male Clients
by Nil Buckley

Note: When we became aware of the CARE Method by Nil Buckley, we were impressed by the approach to working with men and women with domestic violence behaviors. We decided to add them to our catalog. There are four books related to working with people who have domestic violence offenses:

• A workbook for men
• A manual for clinicians working with men
• A workbook for women
• A manual for clinicians working with women

The CARE Method offers a groundbreaking approach to addressing domestic violence, tailored specifically for men. Drawing from years of experience and research, Nil Buckley presents a comprehensive curriculum rooted in evidence-based practices designed to foster meaningful transformation and reduce repeat behaviors. This workbook is a vital resource for counselors, therapists, and anyone committed to breaking the cycle of domestic violence with male clients

Discover the core principles:

• Risk-need-responsivity (RNR) model: Target interventions to high-risk individuals, address criminogenic needs, and tailor treatment to individual learning styles.
• Domestic violence: Explore the dynamics and root causes of intimate partner violence.
• Attachment style: Learn how attachment style impacts relationships.
• Intergenerational trauma: Delve into the impacts of trauma passed through generations and how to heal from it.

This workbook provides the tools needed for personal growth and change through practical exercises and reflective activities. In it, clients learn how to enhance their empathy, accountability, and self-awareness, equipping them with insights into creating healthier relationships and breaking free from abusive patterns. The CARE Method empowers clients to rebuild their lives and relationships, fostering a deep understanding of the behaviors and choices that lead to lasting transformation.
