It's common to hear about women who won't leave their husband/boyfriend who physically batter them.
So many of these men don't change, even lots of them who decide to go into therapy. Psychotherapy works for some people and some people it doesn't.
But even if counseling worked one hundred percent of the time for wife beaters, would it still be a bad idea for the female to stay with the abusive man in the short term?
Yes, I think so.
A man who beats up his wife or girlfriend has had irrational negative beliefs about women for many years. That doesn't just go away after five weeks of therapy.
