ABSTRACT
The initiative of founding the Noam Association, an Israeli association for the prevention of domestic abuse, and Beit Noam, a live-in intervention program for abusive men, was based on the objective of combating the core of the phenomena of intimate violence. The main goals of treating the male batterers are: (1) To allow battered women and their children to remain in their homes and in their natural environment; (2) To treat, re-socialize and teach self-controlling skills and normative behavior to the male batterers; and (3) To stop the pattern of intimate violence from being transferred across generations. This article describes the therapy provided to batterers at Beit Noam, including two case studies, and the results of an assessment report.
