Book excerpt: This report addresses work covered in the ANROWS research project PI.17.12 Engaging men: Invitational-narrative approaches. This report outlines the process of the project which included a developmental evaluation of narrative therapy approaches practised by Uniting Communities to document the processes of engagement when domestic and family violence (DFV) is noticed in individual, couple and family counselling. This qualitative study uses: a literature review, organisation mapping documenting the scope, nature and complexity of the DFV work undertaken by the partner agencies, and interviews with men, partners/ex-partners and therapists (n=40 for each) to provide a holistic understanding of men's experiences of engagement, behaviour and attitudinal change, accountability and responsibility.
