The objective of this programs; intimate partner article is to review current intervention practices designed for violence; parenting; violent violent fathers, to provide a critical analysis of the current men intervention trends, and to identify research directions. Results reveal two main categories of objectives of programs intended for these fathers: (1) increasing accountability and empathy while decreasing violence; and (2) fostering positive fathering and father-child relationship. Ten programs targeting violent fathers using different intervention approaches (e.g., group intervention, family therapy) are identified and described. Finally, we discuss challenges related to research (i.e., program evaluation) and practice (i.e., co-parenting) that researchers, facilitators, and service providers need to address in order to preserve the safety and well-being of children, mothers, and fathers. Fatherhood and intimate partner violence (IPV) represent fields of study that have historically been treated separately (Hearn & Pringle, 2006). As a result, the fathering of men who exhibit violent behavior have often been neglected by both the intervention programs and child protection services (Brown, Callahan, Strega, Walmsley, & Dominelli, 2009; Lapierre & C6td, 2011; Scott, Francis, Crooks, Paddon, & Wolfe, 2007). Since the early 2000s, however, research, as well as clinical initiatives, have emerged focusing on fathers who exhibit violent behavior toward their partners and/or their children (Fleck- Henderson & Arean, 2004; Peled & Perel, 2007; Scott & Crooks, 2006, 2007). We have identified 10 programs intended for violent fathers' that have been, or are currently, being implemented. Most of the literature about these programs describes the programs' curricula and implementation; few pro- gram evaluations have been published.
