Participation in telephone interviews by professionals in a Canadian province included two questions: How would you address content with Aboriginal men in couple counselling who use abusive behaviour toward their intimate partner? and How would you address activities with Aboriginal men in couple counselling who use abusive behaviour toward their intimate partner?” The results were analyzed using a structured conceptualization procedure called Concept Mapping. Six concepts emerged in response to the first question including: 1) Cultural, 2) Western, 3) Traditional Ways, 4) What a Healthy Relationship Is (and Is Not), 5) Men’s Self Responsibility and 6) Accountability to Family and Community.
