En este libro de gran actualidad, la terapeuta familiar Cloé Madanes presenta la terapia de acción social, un modelo de intervención desarrolado por profesionales que trabajan con hombres violentos basado en la convicción de que el agresor tiene total responsabilidad de sus actos. La terapia de acción social requiere que el agresor reconozca sus acciones violentas, demuestre un auténtico arrepentimiento, indemnice a la víctima y encuentre conductas alternativas aceptables.
