Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been targeted as a significant concern worldwide, but evidence for the efficacy of perpetrators' interventions is not undisputable. This article briefly summarizes the evidence about perpetrators' intervention efficacy, factors associated with recidivism, and evidence-based recommendations, before outlining the assumptions of a new community-delivered intervention aiming to rehabilitate IPV perpetrators: the CONTIGO Program. This program uses an innovative framework, focused on early maladaptive schemas, and combining cognitive, interpersonal, and motivational interview principles. The features of this intervention are discussed, and exploratory results regarding drop-out rates (8%) and recidivism (15.4%) in a sample of 162 court-mandated males are exposed. The detailed presentation of the CONTIGO Program and its intervention model represents a novel contribution that is sorely lacking in the IPV literature and could foster further research and debate about what can be done to effectively intervene with IPV perpetrators.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）已成为全球关注的重大问题，但关于针对施暴者干预措施有效性的证据并非毫无争议。本文简要总结了有关施暴者干预效果、与累犯相关的因素以及基于证据的建议，然后概述了一项旨在改造亲密伴侣暴力施暴者的新社区干预措施——CONTIGO计划的设想。该计划采用了一个创新框架，聚焦于早期适应不良图式，并结合了认知、人际和动机访谈原则。本文讨论了该干预措施的特点，并展示了对162名法庭强制要求参与的男性样本的辍学率（8%）和累犯率（15.4%）的探索性结果。CONTIGO计划及其干预模式的详细介绍是亲密伴侣暴力文献中严重缺乏的一项新颖贡献，可能会促进关于如何有效干预亲密伴侣暴力施暴者的进一步研究和辩论。
