Consistent with this are designed and implemented policies and programs to the attention of the victim and the punishment and rehabilitation of the offender. From a relational view and by reviewing existing literature, this paper posits that there are different types of violence require different kinds of clinical and psychosocial approach. In particular, it argues that couples therapy is a possible indication for a particular type of violence: violence assault.
