Although historically the prevention of relationship violence has been seen as a women's issue, more recently recognition has emerged regarding the need to engage men as partners in these initiatives. Early attempts have been mainly driven by grassroots efforts and have not been consistent with a particular theory of behavior and attitude change. This article investigates the application of cognitive–behavioral strategies to engaging men and boys in violence prevention, within a profeminist framework. Three fundamental components of a cognitive–behavioral therapy approach—goal setting, core beliefs, and strategies for change—are discussed and examples of promising initiatives are used to highlight these ideas.

Key Words: cognitive–behavioral • engaging men • violence prevention
