      abstract = {With domestic violence a growing problem in our society,  one community's successful counseling program is becoming a  national model. Bellevue, Washington developed a system in  which first-time offenders can forego criminal charges and  conviction in exchange for undergoing intensive treatment.  This approach has resulted in a repeat offense rate of only  4% among those completing treatment. For people like Bill  Edmundson, just completing group therapy, the program has  made a major difference. Had he not had the opportunity to  understand the causes and consequences of his action, "I  could have seriously hurt somebody," he acknowledges. This  documentary shows it is not only men who abuse. A family  counselor discusses his own situation in which he was the  victim of his wife's behavior. Often the judicial system  does not protect the victim. With the courts backlogged  with cases, abusers may remain at large while their victims  live in fear. An important program for mental health  professionals.},
