(2013), found that individuals who attended a motivational interviewing intervention shown a significantly greater pre-to-post increase in readiness to change and a significantly greater pre-to-post decrease in external attribution of blame. Another technique, I found useful in treating individuals of domestic violence is solution-focused brief therapy. The solution-focused brief therapy assessment and screening process is very detailed (Georges, 2013). By using the solution-focused brief therapy, a counselor could use the miracle technique to help their client think of new possibilities to deal with issues rather than resulting to domestic violence. According violence is highly among seeking therapy.
