This article reviews the progress of sixty‐eight adults (fifty‐two men and sixteen women) on a solution‐focused programme aimed at reducing domestic violence. The practice principles are described, using examples of participants' experiences. The outcomes over a three‐and‐a‐half‐year period are presented and difficulties in assessing effectiveness of outcomes are discussed.
