Essay
You are required to write an essay to thoroughly investigate and address a key issue in domestic and family violence practice: The debate over theories underpinning domestic and family violence practice.

? Its origins and evolution in relation to the field of domestic and family violence practice
? How it compares and contrasts with the theories which have shaped the Duluth model
? Its breadth and versatility in application
? Its applicability and effectiveness with diverse groups
? Its implications for ?use of self?
