This new edition adds and revises the exercises and stories in every chapter, covering important areas such as respect and accountability, maintaining positive relationships, parenting, substance abuse, and sexuality. Innovative chapters including parenting, religion, communication, and substance abuse are featured to deepen one's understanding of controlling behavior. The topic of digital abuse has been further expanded across the chapters and a new exercise, "Voice of My Partner" has been added to core chapters to encourage group members to explore the impact of their behavior and learn and practice the development of empathy. Continuing the tradition of past editions, this edition not only focuses on the content of a good BIPP curriculum, but it also stresses the group process elements that form the backbone of any quality approach.
